New Zealand Quake Ruptured 6 Faults
A new map reveals that six faults ruptured during the Nov. 14 Kaikoura earthquake in New Zealand. The magnitude-7.8 quake ruptured at least four faults along the coast, as well as two inland. Arrows show the level of displacement along each of these faults.

The magnitude-7.8 quake that rattled New Zealand, killing at least two people and stranding thousands of people, completely transformed the underlying faults in the region.

Thanks.

Looks to me like a complex, hazardous, looming, disastrous mess.

Normally, I'd think living higher and further from the coast would be wise. But that Alpine Fault running up the spine of NZ is an even greater hazard of an even much larger quake. And it's almost overdue.

Soooo, there's the Alpine Fault mostly in the South . . . and that huge volcano in the North. Almost sounds like our recent SElection "choice."
