Although no historic earthquake has been recorded for this fault, the potential impact of rupture along the Wellington-Hutt Valley section on the Wellington area makes it one of the greatest natural hazards in New Zealand. The Wellington Fault is also capable of producing earthquakes of up to magnitude-8. [1]

The main magnitude 8.1 earthquake was preceded by a magnitude 7.4 foreshock [7] and followed by a magnitude 6.1 aftershock. [8] A separate, unrelated magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred off the coast of the North Island of New Zealand, approximately 900 km to the south, several hours before the main quakes. [9]
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake has struck New Zealand, just one day after a devastating cyclone forced a state of emergency across much of the country.. The quake occurred under the Cook Strait ...
A similar situation existed with recent sedimentary deposits in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, and meant the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and its significant 2011 Christchurch aftershock were unexpected. Accordingly, there have been recent attempts to better understand the multiple inactive faults which are associated with the landforms of ...
The Christchurch Fault is an active seismic fault running under the city of Christchurch in the middle of New Zealand's South Island.. It runs from an area close to Riccarton, under the Central City, through the eastern suburbs off the coast of New Brighton.
The 1848 Marlborough earthquake in the southern island preceded the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake earthquake by seven years. [2] It is known that the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake loaded the southern part of the fault, [ 2 ] but as already mentioned the mean recurrence interval is 1,230 ± 190 years. [ 6 ]
