2. Earthquake of 7.6 magnitudes
This earthquake is an earthquake that
occurred off the coast of New Zealand on
July 7. It was forecast that the tsunami was
generated in this earthquake. And, it is
announced that the tsunami of one meter
was generated after all.

3. Epicenter
The earthquake concentrated on the location
east away from some 920 Tonga to
Kermadec islands that were the souths at the
Raul island and 161km. The epicenter was in
the depth of 20km. After all, there is little
damage though such an earthquake
occurred.

non-expansion region for Pacific powers
of islands, New Zealand, and Tonga.

It is said that national Crisis Management
Center operates, and the civil defense gets to
New Zealand by the first arriving wave at

There is a possibility that this tsunami is
destroyed according to the coastline in a
region near the hypocenter of the
earthquake. The center that should take
appropriate measures according to this
possibility is describing authorities in this
region in the statement.

Kermadec islands due to the violent earthquake
do not have the living population. A New
Zealand part of the maintenance team that only
and is small lives in the Raul island.

8. Conclusion
It is good that there was especially no influence
though such an earthquake occurred. However, I
do not think that it is a severe earthquake so
much when comparing it with the earthquake of
Japan.
