    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
