When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Mar 22, 2026 06:54 pm (GMT +13)3 minutes ago4.110 km0 km - This quakeSouth Pacific Ocean, 157 km SW of Wellington, Wellington, New ZealandMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake3 minutes agoMar 22, 2026 05:54 GMT / Mar 22, 2026 06:54 pm (GMT +13)Lat / Lng: -42.5514 / 173.9341: South Island OF New ZealandSource: EMSCOther sources: GEONET (NZ): 3.9 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',4.1,41, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',-42.5514,173.9341,'3 minutes ago: Mag. 4.1, South Island OF New Zealand','Earthquake: Mag 4.1 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth3 minutes agoMar 22, 2026 05:54 GMT / Mar 22, 2026 06:54 pm (GMT +13)Lat / Lng: -42.5514 / 173.9341: South Island OF New ZealandSource: EMSCOther sources: GEONET (NZ): 3.9 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22831682","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>
