It was a small #earthquake, but it still freaked me out. Not enough that I screamed or jumped or anything. Just enough that I’m shaking and doing my regular post-earthquake ritual of reading up yet again about #FaultLines and #TectonicPlates.
Tonight I learnt that the #SouthernAlps are actually growing taller, at a rate of about 7mm a year.

#Eqcnz is helping my geography even as someone who is an #Aotearoadon #NZTwits as it's amazing the number of national geographical locations where #EQs go off that I never knew the name or precise situation of... Or their proximity to #TectonicPlates #Geology
