Beneath the North Island there is active subduction of the Hikurangi trough where the Pacific plate is undergoing oblique subduction beneath the Australian plate at ∼ 45 mm/yr (e.g., Demets et al. 1990; Demets et al. 1994). The Hikurangi trough extends from the Kermadec trench in the north and terminates in the upper South Island. Large subduction zone earthquakes of around Mw 8.0 in the lower North Island and around Mw 6.9 farther north are expected (Reyners...
