GeoNet obligation seismologist Dr Jonathan Hanson said we could be sensibly certain that Wednesday's quake was connected with subduction zone processes nearby.
"The way that we see a considerable amount of occasions situated in a truly comparative region supports that being connected with a few continuous cycles there is probable."
As per the New Zealand Messenger, in the beyond 20 years, researchers have situated around 100 occasions in the area.
"The genuine sum is probably going to be a lot higher than that, but since we're far away from our instruments, it's hard to get a full inclination for how dynamic the seismicity is down there — other than we really want an occasion to be above extent five, to be generally positive about it."
