Is there any correlation between the alpine fault in NZ and the Cascade fault on the American west coast? They both had their last major event in the early 1700's, they both border the pacific plate, they're both slip around the 250-350 year cycle. They're both overdue for the next one? Is there any pattern? 1700 then 1717? Has anyone looked at the data side by side?
