Last month 7.8 magnitude
earthquake rocked New Zealand has had a lasting effect of natural barriers of 15ft
high wall across the landscape. In the north of Christchurch, the wall was
created by the shift in the earth when massive earthquake hit southern
hemisphere. After 14th November, it is first time that researchers
have allowed to enter this area, when epicenter, discovered the massive
Hadrian's Wall-like rock formation which had sprung up as well as roads and
fencing displaying clearly how sections of the earth have shifted out of line.
These incredible images are
shared by Dr Pedley, clearly showing that, striking hobbit-like idyllic green
New Zealand countryside torn apart by the earthquake. So far, all roads beyond
this point are closed and only passable by military vehicles. The scientist's
progress and took these incredible pictures which show the earth itself has
been warped and twisted by the effects of the gigantic earthquake. They were
trying to find fault ruptures in the region around the original epicenter, not
as flashy as the ruptures north of “Kaikoura” but an intricate 3km-wide zone of
plentiful ruptures and associated structures, but it very rapidly got messy for
infrastructure to the northeast.
Therefore, the amount of
associated rock-fall, landslides and slumps were unbelievable. Thus, roads,
fields and the sides of whole hills have also been disturbed with also further
subtle lines showing just in the outline of disturbed grass and crops in the
lush green New Zealand countryside. The force of the earth quake was so robust,
even one landslide even created a dam on the Leader River. Source: CP
