New Zealand 5.0 + Earthquakes 2015 to 2020


 Was curious to see how many 5.0+ earthquakes had occurred in Aotearoa since 2015.  I could only recall a few.  Below in date location and richter scale.


6/1/2015  Arthurs Pass 6.0

24/4/2015  Marlborough (Seddon) 6.2

4/5/2015  Wanaka  6.2

2/2/2016  Kermadecs  6.6

4/2/2016  Christchurch  5.7

2/9/2016  East Cape  7.1

14/9/2016  Culverden  (Kaikoura)  7.8

16/4/2019  Off Gisborne  7.0

17/6/2019  Off Gisborne  7.4


 It has been a relatively quiet 4 years with no major quakes on the mainland.  As always - be prepared.
