New Zealand’s Earthquake was so Intense, it Lifted the Sea Bed 2 Metres Above Ground Article Courtesy: sciencealert.com | Originally Published: November 18, 2016

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that tore through New Zealand on Monday was so powerful, it dragged the sea floor 2 metres above the ground, causing it to explode though the sand and reveal its strange, lumpy exterior.

It all happened so fast, the exposed sea bed was still crawling in sea life when locals discovered their newly remodelled coastline, and scientists have never seen anything like it.

“I’ve never seen it before during an earthquake and it’s the first time we’ve seen something like this,” marine geologist Joshu Mountjoy from New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research told Stuff.

“It will take a while before this becomes normal again.”

Monday’s earthquake really took its toll on central New Zealand, leaving more than 1,000 locals and tourists stranded by landslides, with two people reported dead, and dozens injured.

The effects were so intense because two almost simultaneous tremors had ruptured fault lines across the top of the country’s South Island just after midnight.

There are now fears that the strength of the aftershocks could be indications of another earthquake – and it could occur at any point in the next 30 days.
