Wellington, New Zealand!

Hey everyone! I've left Lima, Peru and I just recently landed in Wellington, New Zealand! New Zealand is so beautiful and I can't wait to explore this magical land. Here some info on earthquakes and plate tectonics here in New Zealand. It lays at 41°17'33.20"S and 174°46'23.80"E. Wellington is prone to earthquakes because it rests on the point where two tectonic plates meet. The light but thick Australian Plate rises over the heavier but thinner Pacific Plate. The movement of these plates have resulted in three major fault-lines running through or very close to Wellington, the Ohariu Fault, the Wairarapa Fault, and the Wellington Fault. When one of these faults suddenly shifts, an earthquake occurs.
