研究人员在新西兰南部发现深层隐藏的断层,具有挑战性的地震风险模型。 Researchers discover deep, hidden faults in New Zealand's Southland, challenging seismic risk models.

奥塔戈大学的研究人员在新西兰南地发现隐藏的断层和深至40公里深的地震,该地区地震活动较少。 Researchers from the University of Otago found hidden faults and deep earthquakes up to 40km deep in Southland, New Zealand, a region with low seismic activity. 地震活性地壳是平均深度的两倍,可以改进预测未来地震可能性和强度的模型。 The seismically active crust extends twice the average depth, which could improve models predicting future earthquake likelihood and strength. 这项研究由自然灾害委员会资助,目的是更好地了解奥塔戈和奥克兰等地区的地震风险。 The research, funded by the Natural Hazards Commission, aims to better understand seismic risks in areas like Otago and Auckland.
