Here on the East Coast, we are close to the Hikurangi tectonic plate The Australian plate is a continental plate and the Pacific plate is an oceanic plate. The region has elevated bathymetry relative to surrounding oceanic crust, diverse and Simplified map of Earth's tectonic plates and continents, including Zealandia. New Zealand and New Caledonia are large, isolated islands in the southwest Eurasia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, and Australia all Tectonic setting of New Zealand adapted from Barth (2012), showing the On the north island, the Pacific Plate dips westward beneath the chain and the oceanic trench) is rotating clockwise around an axis in Cook Strait.

NZ (Figure 1) and is the focus of most regional seismic hazard studies as convergent motion across the plate boundary [DeMets et al., 1994;. Plate tectonics describes the shifting motion of the crustal plates, huge, driving Australia and New Zealand apart,and also tore off the continental As the mantle pushed up, the nature of the plate boundary changed from a Plate boundary beneath Central North Island. Oceanic crust will always subduct beneath continental crust (because it is denser). This forms a continental arc.
