The nature of tlu* Arthur’s Pass earthquake, according to geologists, suggests that it is due to a geological fault, or subsidence, in the region of Arthur’s Pass, and to a movement in the Southern Alps. These mountains are generally regarded as stable, but geologists say that it is passible that the fault to be seen in the Kaikoura Ranges continues along the Southern Alps.
