Putting My Finger On A Plate Boundary!
Вставка

- The Alpine Fault in the South Island of New Zealand forms the boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. It produces very large earthquakes (up to Magnitude 8+) every 250 to 300 years on average. Although it seems like an insignificant crack in this video short, it runs for hundreds of kilometres and is responsible for the creation of the Southern Alps over the last 10 million years.
It last ruptured in 1717 giving a very high probability of rupturing (~75%) in the next 50 years.
Sneaky Aussies, trying to get into the Pavlova Country through the backdoor! 😋🤐
Always loved seeing fault lines around NZ. But not sure I’ve ever seen one this significant? How do you tell that crack is the fault between the plates.
Very different rocks on either side of the crack. The location is quite famous for geologists
Wait five minutes and it shake 😂
Where is this? One of the passes? Arthurs?
NZ took the z out of ANZUS.
A little lubricant and a prybar and you can move Australia.
always trying to steal our pavlova credit...
shove a bunch of nukes along the boundary
I thought my ex-wife was the expert at finding faults. She could fling a plate as well come to think of it.
Sounds like she's make a great geologist... 😊
🤣
I love these videos. Such an amazing country we live in.
That's nothing, maate!
Here in Otautahi, in my dining room, I can touch 6 plates at the same time, with just one finger. I checked! :)
Wow to think that is due to go again soon.
I wonder what other body parts people haven't yet put on the fault line, could be a world's first 🤓
Id crack up of it was just a random crack in the bank 😂😂😂😂
No random crack this!
@@hitta-h1n Perhaps a deposit in the crack in the bank....would inspire.
I live in Christchurch New Zealand and the Alpine fault is well overdue. Makes me nervous. Could destroy the whole south island.
It would certainly give everyone a big shake, but hopefully not destroy everything!
GULP.....oops I mean gulp gulp gulp........😂😂 No problem cuz, were in the north island & we'll be right behind you.
Even a 9.2 on the alpine fault would not shake Chch as sharply as the 6.2 in the Estuary in 2011. There's a lot of attenuation due to distance, so the shaking might have the same amplitude but nowhere near the same accelerations. MIght be tough on the settlements near the fault, but there are few of those.
@@Gottenhimfella well you learn something new every day,even if it's far off track. The two subduction zones will meet on collision course, which will of course cause STH island to break,most likely in two. From a 7 to 8 on the rictor scale. The Puysegur & Hikurangi. Anywho the biggest threat to New Zealand is the worlds strongest directed energy weapon system located in STH pole. That made Kai-koura rise, then the Christchurch one also got twatted, . The name is Ice cube neutrino detector,not only a passive listening device as claimed,it's a digital optical module.
@@KenStentiford Ken I left a message in gottenhimfella....will most likely interest & intimidate , if you're interested about where n how I get this factual info, holla out.
Over 9 if it moves!
Certainly most likely mag 8+
When it moves it can range from unmeasurable tremors to magnitude 8. Nature loves a spectrum.
Who knows, may be the fault will remember you and come to haunt/greet your descendants in far future.
As I live in NZ, I would dearly like to know exactly where this is, so that a friend and I can go see it
Gaunt Creek, just south of Wataroa.
So many people have no idea how significant this is, especially those living in New Zealand 😒 I find this fascinating ❤ Where are you?
The location is Gaunt Creek, Whataroa, South Island
Thank you for your content and be safe out there. 🙏
Thank you - this is at Gaunt Creek neaer Whataroa, SI.
Only plate we want ta see is ...our dinner plate.
Nice. I can’t fault you on this.
lol
Love this short video. Geology at its best
Thank you
So is this what my IT guy means by Fault Finding?
Where is this at.
@@mohork Gaunt Creek, near Whataroa NZ
@OutThereLearning you wouldn't believe it, I was there in June in 2023. I filled up at the gas station there before I went on to fox glacier.
the planet's busted.
And we all are gonna die.
Wow incredible😊
Why always just cut it short & not even finish the sentence let alone point 😶
Was a technical glitch sorry - was meaning to say "at Gaunt Creek, New Zealand"
Now it’s YOUR fault
That's hilarious 🤣🤣
Cool
True?
it is!
where is that?
Gaunt Creek, Whataroa, South Island
