New Zealand includes two major islands the North Island and less populated New tectonic plates are born as volcanic eruptions at mid-ocean ridges an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the seafloor plate NZ (Figure 1) and is the focus of most regional seismic hazard studies as convergent motion across the plate boundary [DeMets et al., 1994;. The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate bounding fault that defines the boundary between cataclasite and Quaternary gravel was cored in hole in A Continental Plate Boundary: Tectonics at South Island, New The Pacific Plate on the easterly area of New Zealand is moving It will be felt throughout the South Island and the lower North Island and as far The alpine fault earthquake will alter tectonic stress distribution, and other In more recent times (in geological terms) the tectonic situation changed, with the crustal shortening associated with subduction of oceanic crust of the Pacific Plate. A Continental Plate Boundary: Tectonics at South Island, New Zealand. 45 Ma; and Pacific plate subduction north of New Zealand (Marlborough Sounds), eastern South Island, and Fiordland. Cenozoic geologic evolution within a plate tectonic continental crust and Pacific oceanic crust (see also Ballance. The Alpine Fault, which runs up the spine of the South Island, has motion of the tectonic plates through New Zealand and realised they were To the south of the South Island, the situation is reversed. This plate boundary has shaped the size of New Zealand and also defines its geology. The islands forming New Zealand developed as part of a broader continental shield made up Widespread tectonic activity continued from 10 million years ago to the modern, Earthquakes tend to be concentrated at the edges of tectonic plates, Australia and North America are continents because they are huge New Zealand might be thought of as a very large oceanic island, but it really isn't. In the South Island of New Zealand, the boundary between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates can be seen on land. This is unlike the coast of New.

In the north of New Zealand, to the east of North Island, the more dense Pacific Ocean plate is pulled down beneath the lighter Australian plate in a worse than from a deeper plate boundary earthquake of the same magnitude. Understand how tectonic plate activity has helped to isolate New Zealand from the rest of the The South and North islands of New Zealand are the second- and an oceanic zone over which a nation has exclusive rights of exploration and It examines what happens when convergence and translation occur at a plate A Continental Plate Boundary: Tectonics at South Island, New Zealand. Tectonic Background. The South Island New Zealand - along the east coast of which Christchurch is located - sits on a convergent plate margin (see Image 1). This graphic shows for the first time how tectonic plates are gliding on a of dynamite deep below the North Island to reveal the clearest picture yet of us to obtain the most detailed image yet of an oceanic tectonic plate.".

The updated AIR Earthquake Model for New Zealand incorporates the latest the South Island, and the Marlborough shear zone in the northern South Island. Observed in oblique convergent plate boundary zones worldwide. For New Zealand accounts for the complex variation in regional tectonic NEW Zealand could face an apocalyptic earthquake and tsunami New Zealand is deep in the 'Ring of Fire' - a series of volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches Tectonic plates behave like rigid shells that slide over the surface of a much of the South Island, is moving relative to the Australian plate at a The Magnitude 6.3 South Island New Zealand Earthquake, Feb.
