    An excellent simulation. An electronic warning system with a sensor near Waipukurau could provide Wellington with a good minute's warning. More than time enough to stop, drop and hold. Clearly, we need a grid of sensors like Taiwan.

      The origin is actually along one or more planes (faults) - along which the rupture spreads over a period of time. Therefore the seismic waves keep getting generated as the rupture progresses

      @loosecannon12345 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wairarapa and Wellington are not overdue!
      Earthquakes occur on the Wairarapa Fault approximately every 1200 years on average, with the last 160 years ago.
      Earthquakes occur on the Wellington Fault approximately every 700 to 1000 years on average, with the last between 170 and 370 years ago.
      There is no evidence that both Wellington and Wairarapa fault lines have, could or would rupture simultaneously.

    I don't want to be nit picky and this video is very informative, but the title is misleading. Megathrust earthquakes only happen in subduction zones on the main plate boundaries and are the type of earthquake most likely to exceed 9.0 in magnitude. The Wellington and Wairarapa faults highlighted in this video are not part of the plate boundary. The actual plate boundary is along the Hikurangi Trench which is a subduction zone and runs parallel to the east coast of the North Island, which forms a part of the Kermadec Trench, which is also a subduction zone and goes as far north as Tonga.

    • @GNSscience
      @GNSscience  7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thanks for your comment. The plate boundary extends west of the trench and passes under the east and lower North Island. It is about 25kms below Wellington for example. The Wellington and Wairarapa Faults extend through the crust in the overlying plate above the plate boundary. This simulation is modelling a subduction earthquake on a segment of the plate interface (boundary) as described.

    • @noelburland7169
      @noelburland7169 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Ok thanks for your reply. I guess that would explain the two major faults in the North Island, one of which this simulation is run from, that run parallel to the subduction zone to the east under the sea. I've read on Wikipedia that the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake was unusually strong, presumably because it is directly above the subduction zone?
      If a rupture ever happened out at sea would we see an earthquake bigger than the predicted one on this model? The Hikurangi Trench is much shallower than the Kermadec because of the land mass of the North Island.
      As devastating as the Kaikoura and Christchurch earthquakes were if the fault ruptures under the ocean and is strong enough to reach 9.0 or more in magnitude then the resulting Tsunami could cause utter devastation.

      A blink of an eye.
      Big lagoon cores may represent 2 major breaks in this fault in the last 1000 years.
      There is not a good record of this fault to date but time shall fix that.
      I believe our geonet scientists here in NZ are taking "not if ,but when" approach to another event on this fault.
      I should probably note that the Big Lagoon cores also showed tsunami followed both of these ruptures.

    @kevinsmith467 ปีที่แล้ว

    The speed of the 1929 Karamea was reported as been vastly different than the modelling here. Why is there such a difference ? In Karamea it took 2 days from the earthquake landslide event until the formation of the wave. It then took a further 8 days for the wave to travel the 70 miles to Cape Farewell to do the damage reported. You are talking minutes and hours whereas the history is showing us the speed is much slower. They were saying it took a day to travel about 18 kilometres. That fact is published in dozens of scientific articles here in NZ. Why are we now seeing this new thinking ?

      +nzsmithsi A tsunami is generated by the displacement of water eg through deformation (movement) of the seafloor or lake bed. It is possible that a small tsunami (or seiche) could be caused by this earthquake in this way, but it is unlikely that it would be large enough to cause significant damage around Lake Taupo. .Large regional earthquakes can also cause landslides. Historic landslides in to Lake Taupo have caused seiches in the lake.

    • @GNSscience
      @GNSscience  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The shock waves are actually produced along the fault plane (the fracture in the earth's crust), that takes some time to rupture along its full length and breadth, In this example, the seismic waves are thus being produced over a period of about two minutes. In addition there are different types of seismic waves that radiate from the source, and these travel at different speeds, so the waves start to spread apart even more as they travel.

    An 8.4 M earthquake would be unusually large and thus unlikely for a single *strike-slip event* (unless it is very complex and propagates along multiple faults such as the 7.8 Kaikoura tremor). Similar to Japan in 2011, a rupture of this magnitude would instead most likely start in the *ocean* north-east of Waipukurau near the south-central segment of the *Hikurangi trench* a couple of hundred kilometers east of Gisborne and the *Hawke's Bay.* Because this subduction megathrust quake (which could range from 8.4-9.0 M) would occur in the ocean, a massive and damaging *tsunami* striking NZ's east coast would pretty much be inevitable.

    I am sorry, but all of the factors are incorrect. Wrong energy directional movements, epicentre placements, sub-lines and expansion zones being the most important. Best to re-calculate using correct historical data, especially sub-fault release data for the last 100 years. There is probably more chance of another volcanic expansion in the Auckland zone, resulting in the entire destruction of Auckland areas ( Bombay to Warkworth ) than this "8.4 Megathrust " Tectonic Plate Movement.That volcano in the Hauraki Golf has only been there for 608 years, a mere micro-second in earths time.

      I totally disagree, and for very good reasons. Historic records show undersea volcanic occurrences along the Hikurangu Subduction Zone with venting occurrences forming much of the North Island north of Palmerston North. All volcanos ( including Lake Taupo ) and the volcanic rift up to White Island, then up the Rim of Fire are linked, with more than 150 undersea volcanos being part of recent activity. The Hik Zone is actually a cross-plate incursion into these vents, and recent New Zealand Auckland venting created Rangatoto "Island", which is only 580 years old. It is actually an infant volcano, similar to Krakatoa, and even a small venting caused by subduction movement ( shallow/mid depth earthquakes ) would render Auckland burnt to a crisp. The 47 likewise infant volcanos that greater Auckland has been built on, will actually blow, just the same as Taupo did, as recorded by the Chinese. This is not my opinion, just facts from extensive data collected on repeated tectonic plate construction/movement in the Pacific area going back millions of years. I know of Geologists who will not even visit Auckland, let alone live there.The safest place to be in the North Island, is south of the Bombay Hill, on the East Coast somewhere.Most of the buildings in Napier that were destroyed was due to poor construction materials and no earthquake consideration. The mega quake would drop the Pacific plate sending a Tsunami out over the Pacific, and raise the Australian plate, as in the ChCh and Kaikoura/Seddon quakes. I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that I would chose a mega quake over volcanic nuclear detonation, anytime.
