Okataina Volcanic Center July 24-31 2010

A swarm of earthquakes at Okataina Volcanic Center started on the 24th July 2010. The trend of the swarm is in a south west to north east direction between Te Horoa Dome in the south and Rotokohu Dome in the north and generally confined between Lake Okataina in the west and the Tarawera River in the east.
The swarm has seen two sets of multiple events, the first on 24th July of 29 quakes, with the main cluster located between Tuahu and Makatiti Domes, and other individual events running in a line SW to NE.

Cape Egmont Swarm June 2010

Over the week of 4th – 11th June 2010 a series of 9 earthquakes occurred west of Mt. Taranaki in the area known as the Cape Egmont Fault Zone.
The initial quake appears to be a double quake with the same time reading, but 2.13km apart. The 3.572ML event was reported MM4 (largely observed) at Pungarehu [1], Rahotu [1] and Warea [1].

A moderate 5.318ML earthquake occurred on Saturday, June 12 2010 at 2:20 am NZST 100km to the south and was reported widely felt throughout the lower North Island and upper South Island. It is unclear if this larger event is related to the Cape Egmont swarm as the faults south of the Cape Egmont Fault Zone in the South Taranaki Bight have yet to be determined west of the Manaia Fault.
