that is one nasty Fault line set up Matrix!! Be safe Brother. :(

Thanks Z for being so informative, I haven't had a chance to go to the US-GS website, so you are taking all the work out of this for us.. :P Nice to see the updates with information though.

Matrix, reply to let us know you are well. Please?

Hi 1WW,

All is fine...  :)
Thank you for your concern.

I haven't written much in my forum as it appears no one has been reading anymore,
except Soma

Well that is according to the stats.

If others show interest by asking questions then I will add other material.  :)

There is No point in me writing if no one is reading it...   :(

But I am willing to release more, if people are genuinely interested.

Most of my time is taken up in programming and I am also helping my wife write a second book
regarding the Mx.

We are still having difficulties having the 1st book published in hard back form.

But perhaps we may resort to publishing them as eBooks.

Regarding earthquakes in NZ... Thank you Z for posting the Information.

Note that many drawings on the net., re. Alpine Ridges and Trenches vary, and sometimes contradict
each other.

I am NOT sure why the "Old trench" across the North Island, down through the Taranaki Bight
is not mentioned much on the net. especially when Seismologists are recording activity out
in the "Taranaki Bight", where the Old trench became active 40 years ago.

We had a 7.3 Earthquake (or greater) in that region some months ago but it was very deep.
It still was felt quite strong though in Taranaki, South Taranaki and Central areas to Wellington.

Just a matter of interest; Fishing boats sometimes get their nets fowled on the Rugged sea floor
around this Trench in the "Taranaki Bight". The Rift is also quite plain to see, across the North Island
meeting up again with the Kermadec trench.

This Trench crossing the North Island is North of the upper green line shown in the drawing of the North Island
shown in one of your pictures.

So I don't know if this is deliberately being kept out of pubic knowledge or what ?
Or it might be just an oversight. Who knows ?

Well this is the first I've heard a second trench ???

I was only aware of the Apline fault (older trench).

We really don't need another large event to happen here again but the way the seismic activitly has been tracking up and down the North and South Island I'm a little on edge. I hope Wellington has everything in order and learnt from what happened here in Christchurch.

Hi Flux,

I hope we don't have to go through this too.

If you look north of NZ you will find two ridges (Kermadec) highlighted in yellow
with the Old Kermadec Trench to the right of these two Ridges.









The Old Trench exists between these two Ridges, and passes across the North Island,
passing between Maxwell and Patea. (Waverly between these two towns in South Taranaki)
it goes out about 30 miles out to sea, then swings South passing through Cook Strait
to meat up with the more recent Trench called the Hikurangi Trough.


Note; The differences between the two illustrations below.

http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/australia/new_zealand/



http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/australia/new_z.html





The Earthquakes in Cook Strait are in the Old trench that goes north to Waverly and across
the middle of the North Island then up between those TWO Ridges west of the Kermadek Trench.

Wellington has been expecting a major Earthquake since the 1970's.

The Interest I have involves "Remote Viewing" but one has to realise that "Remote Viewing"
is looking at many future possibilities which are subject to change at any time, depending
on the path we choose.

So what I am saying is that "Remote Viewing" is Not absolute.

If we end up going down the Path I saw, then I suspect we will see subsidence involving
the old Trench in Cook Strait, which may be the cause of the "Sink Holes" I saw occur
in Wellington through "Remote Viewing".

I have had episodes of "Remote Viewing" come to fruition in the past but not every time,
so I don't let "Remote Viewing" rule me, but rather I just have an interest in "Remote Viewing"
regarding its mechanics and source.

So what I saw through "Remote Viewing" may Not necessarily happen and should  NOT be taken
as a prediction.

If these "Sink Holes" do appear in Wellington others will also occur in other places in the North Island.

And at a later date, some months or years we will find events take place along these trenches around
the Pacific ring of fire involving the relocation of the Oceans to the underside of the Earth's Crust.

Through "Remote Viewing" I saw Japan subside, just before the seas disappeared, from the surface
of the Earth.

When Japan subsided huge tidal waves spread out over continents and Islands then on the wash back,
the seas relocated under the crust where the plates had ruptured.

Hello Matrix,

When this scenario was first brought up of these tectonics moving the way they were and then realizing that a new fault was in play, with a triangulation to it, I was more concerned of a first ever observable plate "Lift" with in the apex of the connecting lines of the faults.

This too me is much more scary for you folks there, we have never really witnessed an inland tectonic plate rise. I know we have islands and such popping up from time to time on our planets sea floors and then re-submerging back below the water table, but this is a much more dire situation, if my assumptions are realistic for inland upheaval.

And of course, this is how all mountain ranges came to be, but, as far as I can tell thus far, we, as a species, have never witnessed anything remotely close to how far inland this event would take place.

I am concerned for you guy's either way, and though you have the ability of the RV techniques and I do not, one thing is for sure, either scenario is going to be scary. and my thoughts are with you my friend..

Hi 1WW,

Thank you for your concern.

Yea I am kind of in the middle of all this but as are others no matter where we live.
To leave one place and move to another area may be worse or better as it is all guess work.

The section I am in is that area shown as raising upward as you suggest. The areas outside this
are the areas I am concerned over. The triangular section I live on is being squeezed upward.

This Triangular section I think was the result of a piece breaking off from the Tasmanian Plate
westward from us when the newer of the trenches formed east of the "Older Trench",
which I understand existed between the two oceanic ridges west of the Kermadek Trench today,
extending down across the North Island, out into the western sea and down through Cook Strait.

It appears to me that the Earthquakes taking place along BOTH trenches is the Interactions
of the Tasmanian and Pacific Plates with this triangular piece trapped between them.

If the "Remote Viewing" of this event I witnessed takes place sometime in the future I think
the Sink Holes I saw appear will be due to a huge subsidence of the edge of the Triangular
section Wellington City is next to. On a global scale the subsidence will be very small
but to us the affects involving our living habits re City life may be devastating.

I was interested to see Scientists pay a visit to the trench in Cook Strait,
to check for Subsidence of the Sea floor in Cook Strait, just after the Earthquake;

http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Learning/Science-Topics/Landforms/Sinking-Basins-and-Valleys

Quote
Faults: On a smaller scale, the Hutt Valley and Wellington Harbour are an example
of local subsidence due to tilting of the land surface by local fault displacements.




Quote
Drowned landscapes: In some areas the sea has flooded old landscapes. The Marlborough Sounds are a large network of ancient river valleys that have been tilted to the north and drowned by subsidence of the crust on the western side of Cook Strait. Rising sea levels following the last ice age have added to the immersion of this landscape.

See the photos of Islands below, across Cook Strait from Wellington City.
(The Islands known as The Marlborough Sounds)

It was NOT so much the intensity but rather the shallow depth this took place.

Only 6 Km deep, and its Location.


ATTENTION !

I have just found Scientific evidence referring to what I understand through my "Remote Viewing" episode.

NOW THIS HAS DEFINATELY GOT MY FULLEST ATTENTION !

I Want to be wrong about all this, Truly I do, but I have this really bad feeling about this like a Déjà vu.

Huge undersea landslide discovered in Cook Strait

Science Centres: Coasts and Oceans

Huge undersea landslide discovered in Cook Strait

42943
Scars, indicating large-scale slope failures, are clearly visible at a depth of around 140 m in Cook Strait.

Undersea mapping in Cook Strait has revealed detail of massive rock movements around a huge canyon,
Nicholson Canyon, less than 15 km from Wellington Airport.

Using state-of-the-art multi-beam equipment, scientists have discovered that the canyon walls
are very steep.

The over-300 m high walls have clearly visible scars indicating a large-scale slope collapse
or landslide.

NIWA ocean geologist Joshu Mountjoy estimates that the volume of rock which collapsed into the canyon
was immense – in the order of 10, 000, 000, 000 cubic metres, or approximately four times the size
of Wellington’s Mount Victoria.

“The potential for submarine landslides to generate hazardous tsunami is well documented,
and numerical tsunami modelling will be undertaken to assess the future hazard,” says Joshu. “Also,
accurate knowledge of the seabed is important for activities such as submarine cable-laying
and installation of other marine infrastructure.”

Evidence of several other similar size undersea landslides has been found in the Cook Strait canyons,
all within a 50 km radius of Wellington. The landslides are thought to be initiated during large-magnitude
earthquakes.

The research was funded by the Foundation for Research, Science & Technology, NIWA’s Capability Fund
and the NZ Tertiary Education Commission.






http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_Strait

Quote
The shores of Cook Strait on both sides are mostly composed of steep cliffs.

The beaches of Cloudy Bay, Clifford Bay, and Palliser Bay shoal gently down to 140 metres,
where there is a more or less extensive submarine plateau.

The rest of the bottom topography is complex. To the east is the Cook Strait Canyon with steep walls
descending eastwards into the bathyal depths of the Hikurangi Trench.

To the north-west lies the Narrows Basin, where water is 300 and 400  metres deep.
Fisherman's Rock in the north end of the Narrows Basin rises to within a few metres of low tide,
and is marked by waves breaking in rough weather.

A relatively shallow submarine valley lies across the northern end of the Marlborough Sounds.

The bottom topography is particularly irregular around the coast of the South Island where the presence
of islands, underwater rocks, and the entrances to the sounds, create violent eddies.

The strait has an average depth of 128 metres (420 feet).

Maybe tiny info but....

I spoke to a friend a couple of days ago who is working down here (specialist drainage company) for the repairs to the horizontal infrastructure and said they were called back up there (home city is Wellington for them) to repair a collapsed section of ground. The only reason he told me about it is because I mentioned sink holes while chatting. :-\

Thank you so much for your information.

Even though things have been quiet (many small Earthquakes) in Cook Strait I still have
a very, very bad feeling about this.
And I certainly don't want to see this happen in Wellington or anywhere else for that matter.

There was a 7.0 Magnitude earthquake in the Taranaki Bight in 2012 but it was very deep.
Still felt rather strong though dropping things of shelves etc.

New Zealand’s 7.0 earthquake was strongest to strike the region in 119 years

A drawing showing its Location at this site.

July 4, 2012 – NEW ZEALAND – Last night’s magnitude 7.0 earthquake in the South Taranaki Bight
is the largest to strike the region in more than 100 years, GNS Science says.

The quake struck at 10.36pm, 60km south-west of Opunake in Taranaki, at a depth of 230km.

It was felt strongly around the west coast of the lower North Island, and was widely felt from
the Bay of Plenty to Canterbury.
No tsunami was generated by the quake. Waiouru resident Adrienne Murphy told the Herald
it was the “biggest shake we have felt in years.”

Residents in Wellington reported being startled by shakes, which lasted for about 15 seconds.
Some said the shakes were strong enough to topple household appliances, but the central Fire Service
communications centre said it had received no reports of earthquake-related damage.
