Christchurch earthquakes (New Zealand)

[Brian]

After having an earthquake almost everyday for a long time the earthquakes
near Christchurch seem to have suddenly stopped. The last earthquake
reported was on 19th August which was a 3.2.
I don't know if this is a good thing or not as it could be like a time bomb
waiting to explode due to a build up in pressure. I was expecting the
quakes to fade away but not suddenly stop. I still don't trust earthquakes.

Does anyone know of an event where earthquakes have suddenly stopped and
then started again in a strong earthquake?

If you read the posts you will realise the industry is still in the
dark ages. The substrate of earth is supposed to be liquid and 43?
eons? old. Something requiring theories to theorise about.

Then in schoolboy physics you tap a bottle of fizz and all the fizz is
encouraged to leave the one point of egress but not with magma plumes.

Reinventing the venting.
And a perpetual earthquake machine.

At the moment earthquake behaviour world wide has changed to swarms.
This can be predicted by watching weather front behaviour.

The North Atlantic forecasts are particularly interesting at the
moment as is:

Notice how the injection from the mid Pacific avoids contamination
with the Low it touches. Odd?
It goes around the outside until forced to mix on the Antarctic coast.

This is not simple ballistics of atmospheric science but acoustic
dynamics, if such a field exists as yet.

Where contamination takes place, that is when the earthquakes arrive.
Thousands of miles away. Not a very big one in this model run yet we
have just had a Mag 6, so the run shows primarily storms and in the
background (obviously) seismic signals are lost.

But only in interesting Antarctic High situations like this one.

Or not as the case may be.
