I am really wondering if the earthquake that New Zealand had is a result of a volcano coming alive, and be the reason for having new fault lines. So my question is is the people in Christchurch in grave danger if this possible volcano erupts, and if this is a volcano is there any way of finding out for sure. How safe are the people of New Zealand. I do not live there but have a friend who has family there. Just a concerning person for the will being of other human beings.

Heather, the geology of New Zealand makes it one of the most turbulent regions on Earth relative to an escalation of events. I will cover this in more detail a little later with a post. The North Island is volcanically dense- the TVZ or Taupo Volcanic Zone is home to the super-volcano Lake Taupo. On the South Island, we have a strike-slip boundary. Prognosis, not good and you can follow the trail of science to potential eventualies if earthchanges escalate. All the more reason to follow updates by local geologists in New Zealand.

The frequency and magnitude of earthquakes has not changed, there are just too many people on the planet and the chance of a natural event striking a population dense area has increased. Get a grip people.

Scientists have been downplaying the appearance of hot springs in Lyttelton Harbour since the February 22nd quake (near epicentre of Christchurch’s quake). They have told us that there is no chance that the dormant volcano that once was Lyttelton Harbour will become active.
What do you think?
They have also told us that the aftershock sequence from both quakes in this area (September 4 and February 22) are normal. But what is normal? And what can they compare these events to for a comparison?

Denise, in my book, I stressed the fact that dormant volcanoes would and are awakening during this period. This was only recently confirmed by a team of scientists this month—- please reference article: http://www.tgdaily.com/general-sciences-features/54491-many-dormant-volcanoes-could-erupt-at-any-time. I disagree with many traditional geological theories. Consigning everything to the ‘aftershock‘ concept being one of them. Why does an earthquake happen to begin with? A fault ruptures to alleviate stress? Free Dictionary.com defines an earthquake as: “A sudden movement of the earth’s crust caused by the release of stress accumulated along geologic faults or by volcanic activity.” Dictionary.com says an earthquake is: “A series of vibrations induced in the earth’s crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating.”
If the earthquake alleviates stress, why do aftershocks happen? And why do they keep happening up to a year after the quake? If the tire on your car has a blow-out, can it have a second blow-out and a third? I believe we have to look at other causes for occurrences. This region may be at an increased risk of greater instability but people can be lulled into a false security by believing its normal activity. And one example of that is the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 A.D., Tremors were reported around the summit for up to 2 years before the eruption but the people in Pompeii grew accustomed to them. Four days before the eruption, the writer Pliny the Younger even wrote about the tremors saying that they “were not particularly alarming because they are frequent in Campania.”

I live in Bexley christchurch and really do wonder is there another dormant volcano out by Darfield that the scientists are keeping quite about. they havent told the public about the two in town Lyttleton harbour and Akoroa its the older citizens of Christchurch who have been telling people as far as I knew it was just a harbour until my mother told me otherwise. My query about the volcano in or by Darfield is that is where the earthquake originated from not in town, its miles away from lyttleton and Akoroa I know there are ski field here but am unsure whether they are Darfields way. I wonder if the scientists are telling us everything they know. I am a North Islander and have lived through many earthquakes and you had it and it was over, know such thing as after shocks is this a laymans term used by scientists for continuing activity your thoughts to my query would be appriciated

Claire, the seismic dynamics of earthquakes- particularly mega-thrust earthquakes changed around 1960. These quakes began releasing inordinate amounts of seismic energy whenever the sea-floor was churned or ripped during an eruptive event. How many quakes does it take to destroy the country of Japan? apparently one. The geology of the planet is morphing, magma is stirring and chewing slabs of mantle even as that marks its treacherous climb to volcanic bed-chambers, tensile integrity of the crust is degrading from stresses associated with hydrocarbon reservoir extraction and increasing rainfall totals. So called ‘afterhocks‘ are increasing because the forces that created the seismic rupture originally are also intensifying. It is not numbers that should be of most concern here—- it should be the frequency cycle of how many large type quakes we have had in such close proximity. The 9.3 mega-thrust quake in the Indian Ocean in 2004, the 8.9 that hit Chile in 2010, and the 9.0 quake that struck off the east coast of Honshu Japan in 2011. This is grave cause for concern.

can you answer my question I am not of the science field so laymans terms are best are there volcanoes near Darfield and to your reply I dont quite understand I was born in 1960 so any earthquakes I felt were after the change so why are these so different than any felt in gisborne where you got major ones without aftershocks

Claire, I would have to study the geology of the South Island to understand what the volcanic history is. The danger is from faults. The dangers to the North Island are volcanic in the Taupo complex. As far as 1960 is concerned, I was referring to aftershock frequency. In the Great 9.3 Alaskan Earthquake of 1964, there were 10,000 aftershocks, the most ever recorded. This type of quake is called a mega-thrust quake and they generally occur where tectonic plates dive under each other. This is the type of earthquake Japan experienced. The South Island is not in that type of zone.

As far as one can tell there are no volcanoes near Darfield. Lyttelton & Akaroa are a very different story.
