South Island of New Zealand rattled by unending spasm of earthquakes
Posted on January 1, 2012
January 1, 2012 – NEW ZEALAND – An earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale on Saturday struck near New Zealand’s Christchurch city, which had witnessed serious damage after being hit by 6.3-magnitude earthquake in February. On Sunday, the South Island was hit again by two 5.0 magnitude earthquakes- 18 and 24 km from Christchurch and both earthquakes were below 24 km in depth. The earthquake’s epicenter was located at the depth of some 10 km, only 14 km from Christchurch. First tremors were registered at 1.44 pm on Saturday local time. No death or casualties, however, were reported and no tsunami alert was issued. Last week, the area was hit by three powerful aftershocks, measuring 5.3-5.8 on the Richter scale. New Zealand’s second largest city Christchurch was hit by a series of aftershocks following the 7.1-magnitude earthquake Sep 4, 2010. The most devastating aftershock measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale rattled the area in February, causing extensive damage and leaving over 180 people dead. –Hindustan Times
As the map above shows, New Zealand is under assault from ever-intensifying seismic forces that have been exacerbated by geological Earthchange which has seen both more pronounced tectonic plate agitation and volcanism in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Archipelagos and Island arcs near tectonic plate junctions may be among the planet’s first casualities from this new dynamic catastrophism.
