New Zealand is Rock and Roll

This is an amazing graphic of the seismic activity in Canterbury this week. That is a LOT of earthquakes.

Here is some footage of the new Fault line.


And here's footage from a shop security camera.


I wonder what the new fault will mean in terms of NZ's geography. Is it just another point of stress relief for the Alpine Fault? Is it going to be a big deal in its own right? Will it mean a change of altitude on the Canterbury Plains? If so, higher or lower? Or is Aotearoa just wriggling a little in her sleep?
