2019 >/=Ml 4.0 Earthquakes
This page displays all New Zealand earthquakes in 2019 with a local magnitude of 4.0 or greater. The data given includes: the date, time, latitude, longitude, magnitude and depth of the earthquake; the intensities reported by members of the public at different localities due to the quake; a seismogram of the earthquake from a nearby seismometer station; if applicable, a focal mechanism of the earthquake, with the moment magnitude, faulting type & orientation also described. Links to the original data are provided as hyperlinks.
