🌏 Wellington City arose from being a centrally located harbour. Nothing was known then of fault lines or the occurrence of earthquakes. Colonialists came from places that didn't have earthquakes. Thank you for reporting Sammzz.
🌱🌏💚 5kms depth at Te Puia O Whakaari/White Island. Alert level 2, increased eruptive activity.......Is the volcano going to live up to its name & do something dramatic? 👀
A bit of a shake up to wake up! Too early on a Sunday morning for running outside with my PJ'S on lol. Count it as a practice, a bigger one can (& does) happen any time.
Toward the end of this, where the only flashing sensor is in the Cook Strait, do you know if it's on the sea floor? or on a buoy? Maybe a dumb question. Just curious.
Sometimes feel the tremor strongly here on the East Coast after m6 & upwards eqs in the Kermadecs. It's the same event but travels thousands of kilometers. Have watched a Kermadec eq notification & then felt the equivalent of aprox m5+ here, within minutes. It's annoying because the eqs that subsequently occur here aren't verified, as the epicenter is actually thousands of kilometers away.
🌱🌏💚 KiaOra. Good morning from Hawkes Bay. I really like your eq graphics, showing the activity on all the sensors. For one, It gives a more accurate picture of the Kapiti/Hikurangi slow slip activity. I think this format is actually way better than the one GeoNet uses.
@@Sammzz2011 The monitoring for Kermadecs isn't too bad considering the distance. That area busts out some big eqs + eruptions. The big ones are the ones we need to keep an eye on here, (tsunami etc) I'm satisfied with getting notified for M6 & above lol. Also, I've noticed after the big eqs in the Kermadecs in the last 5 years, they've been felt here, 2000kms away, shortly after. Someone needs to trim the foliage on the GeoNet Rauol Island cam though, can't see anything but 🌿😅
