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)Nov 3, 2026 03:59 am (GMT +12)16 minutes ago4.0482 km0 km - This quakeSouth Pacific Ocean, New ZealandMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake16 minutes agoNov 2, 2026 15:59 GMT / Nov 3, 2026 03:59 am (GMT +12)Lat / Lng: -32.4706 / 179.9806: New Zealand: South OF Kermadec IslandsSource: EMSCOther sources: GEONET (NZ): 4.0 / 482 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',4.0,40, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',-32.4706,179.9806,'16 minutes ago: Mag. 4.0, New Zealand: South OF Kermadec Islands','Earthquake: Mag 4.0 / 482 km (300 mi) depth16 minutes agoNov 2, 2026 15:59 GMT / Nov 3, 2026 03:59 am (GMT +12)Lat / Lng: -32.4706 / 179.9806: New Zealand: South OF Kermadec IslandsSource: EMSCOther sources: GEONET (NZ): 4.0 / 482 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); 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)})(); })(); (function(){let done=false;async function loadPrevious(){if(done)return;done=true;while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server4.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=23574229","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){let s=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(s)s.remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");if(!table)return;table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg();let ph=d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText");if(ph)ph.innerHTML=o.html;let wrap=d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap");if(wrap)wrap.style.display="";if(typeof updateAgeStrings=="function")updateAgeStrings();eval(o.js)}})}let d=document,target=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(!target||!("IntersectionObserver" in window)){loadPrevious();return}let obs=new IntersectionObserver(function(entries){if(entries.some(e=>e.isIntersecting)){obs.disconnect();loadPrevious()}},{rootMargin:"300px 0px"});obs.observe(target)})();]]>
