Incentive for young people to consider geology as a subject

Stand on Cambridge Terrace - Kent Terrace, at the Ghuznee St intersection, and look either way to see 4 raised beaches. The site your standing on, was in the late 1800's, a shallow harbour, capable of accomadateing, tall sailing ships. Were it still a harbour, one would be underwater, by several feet, at the first rise, deeper on the rest of them. Pity this video didn't include the South Island leg of the Kahurangi subduction zone, which ruptured about 8 years back, lifting several miles of coastline in the process, plus uplifts & horozontal moves inland. All of the Earthqaukes, along this subduction zone, tend to generate big movements. This last nearly 10 days, there have been several 4.3 + qaukes, and a couple over 5.4, all off shore from East Cape. I'm waiting for the next big one, which moves Wellington.

I visited NZ in '95. After seeing all the volcanoes, this does not surprise me. We in the US Pacific Northwest have a similar situation, volcanoes onshore and a subduction zone fault off shore. At least yours is fairly "recent". Our last one was 320 years ago!

@sigisoltau6073

3 жыл бұрын

Well thing is, Iceland sits on a Mid Ocean Ridge where two plates move apart. In New Zealand there's a subduction zone where one plate goes beneath another one. With Iceland when these plates move apart magma moves up between the cracks. Under Iceland there's also a hotspot, or mantle plume, like the one under Hawaii, which supplies additional magma. In a subduction zone, as one plate moves downward, it heats up and starts melting. Some of the minerals that contain water melt, and the water reduces the melting point of the surrounding rock, producing magma. This magma is less dense than the rock around it so it rises until it meets the crust. If there are cracks in the crust this magma continues to rise until it either erupts at the surface as a volcano, or it stops because the cracks stop, and eventually cools.

That would mean that a huge earthquake happens "near" to New Zealand, it is more likely that a large earthquake will happen at New Zealand and the tsunami would radiate away from NZ. But we are talking about mother nature and anything is possible.

What I have been trying to get through Kiwis "thick as" sculls for years, This is not some "Naturally" occurring phenomenon, but a man made thing using secret weapons and suppressed technology in order to bring about the destruction of this country and its people. Keep burying your heads in the sand Kiwis.

The reason for seismic activity in New Zealand is the sheer mass of many millions of sheep and cattle weighing the North and South Island down into the Kermadec-Tonga subduction zone. To offset this, the NZ government encourages many of their residents to reside in Australia, but the Liberal Australian government uncaringly sends them back. 🙄

Please keeping saying "six" as sux, its just plain amusing.
