Well in New Zealand once you move out of the earthquake prone areas you are straight into the volcano prone areas. Our attitude is: beautiful country, we can build for earthquakes and hopefully anticipate volcanoes. I guess the big fear is a mega eruption from Taupo, lets hope that is a long, long way off.
Could You Please Help! I Am In Wellington rn And I Live There And Apparently, There is supposed to be a big earthquake, and when it happens, i will probably have a heart-attack and die ;-;
@@razzaus1570 smarter than building houses ON one. Americans never did quite understand how the world works, I suppose. Some of the ones I've spoken to have never even felt an earthquake or seen the ocean. Sheltered bunch.
And the seals lounge heedlessly, uncaringly, on the uplifted rocks. I'm no expert, but it looked to me like the location of the various important transportation modes was composed of alluvial fill from the river or the ocean. If so, that could mean it would be even more vulnerable in a large earthquake. Of course if the big one doesn't happen for another 400 years, this is beyond the concern of any of us today.
Every time i walk down Lambton Quay I realise how completely vulnerable people would be in a major earthquake with those narrow streets and old tall buildings!
The Wellington Fault is more like the San Andreas Fault as well as the Calaveras Fault as well as the Hayward Faults in California where earthquakes occur when seismic pressures build up over the centuries!
just felt one right now, one week after the christchurch disaster, the date is 1st March, Tuesday 2011, and the earthquake struck wellington at 10.08pm
if we didnt build on fault lines even more of us would have to live in Auckland! (from East Cape to Fiordland it seems everywhere you go you can't avoid building near a fault)
this red line is fault line so put a marking on it or pole's apart off one kilometres on both sides with a steel wire so we got more precision displacement occurred per year put the steel wire with tight enough to break so we record every parameters which carried out weathering
I thought it was about geothermic techno rave party, but maybe it have to do with psychedelic trance fault, the two genres are too mix up in my head, I am not specialist in underground hardcore. But one is for sure - the bass tremble as if there was an earthquake.
New Zealand is getting pushed up because Zealandia is underneath. Kaikoura earth quake triggered from the sea, which cause kaikoura coast to lifted up.
It's a reality for everyone living on a speck of dirt careening through space in a very dangerous universe . .it's common knowledge that this planet will some day be consumed by the Sun when it goes into the red giant stage of it's life . .yeah we're all on borrowed time lol . .so enjoy the time you have :-)
"Probability of this fault moving in the next 50 years is about 10%". 2 Weeks ago, Wellington had an earthquake that was an apparent 5 on the richter scale. Not the last and certainly the beginning of something massive.
if you know where the boundaries of the fault so put two poles on each side and a steel wire which is almost tight enough to break now we know that even a millimetre changing will be recorded with all the precision
Something similar to that has been done since the 1960s. It turns out that the fault is not creeping, it is stuck. meaning that displacements mostly occur during earthquake ruptures.
Obviously they didn't know of it when they started building the city, but you new types wouldn't know anything about having a history. You can barely trace your lineage back to last week lad.
5: 55 put a siphon so we got steady speed and a screw type turbine gives tremendous energy and electricity use this electricity for making oxygen use hydrogen for making electricity again
Geeez mate that is a very newsy ,informative clip. Just hope for Wellingtons sake, the quake that is hammering Christchurch, i hope doenst hit WGTN.When yo look where the 2 plates are, its a possibilty
Further research on the Wellington Fault in relation to other nearby active faults ("It's Our Fault" project) has given a new estimation for a WF rupture of 10% in the next 100 years, which is good news. However, there is no room for complacency as this does not include the combined hazard of all of the regional active faults as well as the plate boundary fault underneath Wellington.

Thanks for the feedback. Your sentiments have been shared by a few other viewers! This was our first ever video on this channel and you will see that we rarely included music on others of our videos.
do reverse engineering with all the geographical scientist we know that weight of earth and all the world limit of mechanical strength and chemicals composition so we know energy potential all over the world become want to equalise so the earthquake occurred whole world scientist are welcomed to develop this idea with me
This is incorrect. Why is 'modern' science stuck dealing with a theory credited to Alfred Wegener that isn't correct? Thumb down for not being able to read a modern oceanic floor map!
We've all suffered through actual earthquakes and a smart person would be prudent not to ignore the best science available ,Wegener was disbelieved in his own time up until extensive sonar mapping of the world's seafloor proved his drift theory, don't swallow it ? Go visit Iceland or the rift valley.
@@pauldavidson6321 The age of the sea floor actually proves Pangaea theory to be incorrect. The better theory to explain how the earth is would be the growing earth theory.
I can't watch this video, because of the utterly inappropriate and intrusive, background rhythm. What is this trying to be, a disco set-up or a scientific program. Such pity !
Omg I can't decide if this is a educational documentary or a music video🤔🤔🤔
Educational with a little old school Lawrence Welk.
We lived at 504 Hutt Road in the 1960's and it was rather exciting to know we straddled the fault line!
The biggest reason we moved from Wellington 3 weeks ago.

Was this shot in a club somewhere? The music.......
Please change music
That's a great video and the music is really proper to shake...lol
The Kiwi's were smart to build either side of the fault, unlike in California where they just build over the top of it
Yeah building houses 10 meters from a 7.5 faultline, real smart.

we got the same thing here in California called the san Andreas fault and you can see it in curtain areas in California

We love visiting Wellington and vacationing in Upper Hutt
Can't watch with thumping music in the background!

Sorry, would love to watch this but the music is too distracting. Any chance of a re-cut with it toned down a bit?

😆 thank you, that makes perfect sense.
The end is nigh!!! Run chickens, the sky is falling. More paradise for us real kiwis.

That must have really pissed off the hobbits.
very informative! cheers for putting this up
New Zealand has many faults.
Good grief you are all living on borrowed time

the music is annoying
Part of the fault is under my street
Interesting video, pity about that irritating music
Thanks... I love Wgtn 👍🇳🇿
Anyone like to buy a little oceanfront lot in Upper Hutt?
For crying out loud, ditch the music! It makes it quite difficult, for those of us with less than ideal hearing, to understand the speech.
they've definitely improved, this video is 11-12 years old.
Put the subtitles on
I could not watch the whole program as the music annoyed me so much.

You were right.

whats up with the persistent banner?
especially alot of wellington homes are all built on hillside im in christchurch and i can tell you now id rather be in chch than welly
A known fault line....so let's build a city on it.
Obviously they didn't know of it when they started building the city, but you new types wouldn't know anything about having a history. You can barely trace your lineage back to last week lad.
Hi i love nz my wish my job in nz please your help me?
5: 55
put a siphon so we got steady speed and a screw type turbine gives tremendous energy and electricity
use this electricity for making oxygen
use hydrogen for making electricity again
That's stupid.
Geeez mate that is a very newsy ,informative clip. Just hope for Wellingtons sake, the quake that is hammering Christchurch, i hope doenst hit WGTN.When yo look where the 2 plates are, its a possibilty
Any update on that 10% in the next 50 years post CHCH + Kaikoura events?

75% now bahaha
what type of fault is the wellington fault, is it just a normal fault?
It is a dextral strike slip fault
We are living in the Last Days of this System of Things & the probability of a earthquake there sooner then later. He said only 10% in the next 50 yrs & I laughed
why is music..... its irrelevant
because bad taste exist independently from good scientific knowledge...
So interesting, thanks for sharing 😊
Please get rid of the music. It's just irritating. It detracts from the explanation.
Well in new Zealand Christchurch once you move out of the earthquake prone areas you are stragiht into vocano prone areas our attentionde is beautiful country we can build earthquake and hopefully anticpate volanoes i guess the big faear is a meags eruption form taupo let hope that is a Long way off ❤🎉😊 💕 kiss 😘 happy kids school is fun good morning I ❣️
Hopefully when you have an earthquake you pillows are all in Parliament pity we don't have that in Canberra
I love academics!
Great vid.
Crap music.
Get rid.

@@GNSscience The disco thumping is awful, it would be more bearable at half the volume or less. Else, good video.
It won't be missed.
typical kiwi thought process, where's that fault line? right build a major city on the bugger that'll fix it.
Why do you put that irritating music under the video? I'm not watching the rest of it. Total crap!!!!!
Its hard enough to understand the narrative with accents. Impossible with the aggravating noise it the background.
how do you expect them to stop speaking in accents tho? it's their accent. even you have an accent. people can't just stop using accents.
@@lilliths-httyd-channel But they CAN ditch the terrible background 'music'.
@@jackbelk8527 and they did ditch the music. im asking about the accents.
@@jackbelk8527 also, please don't say that something isn't music just because you don't like it. it's rude.
Dumb place to build a city if know the problems? Could have stopped development when they first found out?

Potentially fascinating doco but the godawful intrusive music ruins this...completely
and u dont need such awful music playing the whole time...in fact why not zero music.....
