Summary
[edit]DescriptionTerremoto de Nueva Zelanda.jpg |
English: The September 3, 2010 South Island, New Zealand earthquake occurred as a result of strike-slip faulting within the crust of the Pacific plate, near the eastern foothills of the Southern Alps at the western edge of the Canterbury Plains. The earthquake struck approximately 50 km to the west-northwest of Christchurch, the largest population center in the region, and about 80-90 km to the south and east of the current expression of the Australia:Pacific plate boundary through the island (the Alpine and Hope Faults). The earthquake, though removed from the plate boundary itself, likely reflects right-lateral motion on one of a number of regional faults related to the overall relative motion of these plates and may be related to the overall southern propagation of the Marlborough fault system in recent geologic time.
Today's earthquake occurred approximately 50 km to the southeast of a M7.1, surface-rupturing event in Authur's Pass, on March 9th, 1929, which caused 17 fatalities. More recently, two earthquakes of M6.7 and M5.9 occurred in June 1994 approximately 40 km to the northwest of today's event, but did not cause any known fatalities or significant damage.
Español: El 03 de septiembre 2010 la Isla Sur , Nueva Zelanda terremoto se produjo como resultado de fallas de corrimiento de la corteza de la placa del Pacífico , cerca de las estribaciones orientales de los Alpes del Sur en el borde occidental de las llanuras de Canterbury. El terremoto se produjo a unos 50 km al oeste -noroeste de Christchurch, el mayor centro de población en la región , y alrededor de 80-90 km al sur y al este de la expresión actual de la Australia: los límites del Pacífico a través de la placa de la isla ( de los Alpes Faltas y Esperanza) . El terremoto , aunque retirado del límite de placas en sí , probablemente refleja el movimiento lateral derecho en una de una serie de fallas regionales relacionadas con el movimiento relativo global de estas placas y puede estar relacionado con la propagación global del sur del sistema de fallas Marlborough en los últimos tiempo geológico .
sismo de hoy se produjo a unos 50 km al sureste de la M7.1 , superficie a romperse en caso Pase Authur , celebrada el 09 de marzo 1929 , que causó 17 víctimas mortales. Más recientemente , dos terremotos de M6.7 y M5.9 se produjo en junio de 1994 a aproximadamente 40 km al noroeste de el evento de hoy , pero no causó víctimas mortales conocidos o daños significativos. |
