"The earthquake that struck Kaikōura just after midnight on 14 November 2016 was unique in so many ways. Scientists described it as the most powerful in the North Canterbury area in over 150 years and one of the most complex earthquakes ever recorded with modern instruments. Originating near the North Canterbury town of Waiau, the earthquake travelled in a southwest to northeast direction, picking up speed and intensity as it 'unzipped' along 180 km of Kaikōura coastline, through ancient pā, kāinga and urupā, splintering into Marlborough and Wellington. It was unique in that the rupture was not a single fault line, but a domino effect of over 20 different faults erupting in the same event, a world record. The ground lifted by up to two metres along the coast, exposing a rim of white limestone and purple seabed. The combined vertical and horizontal displacement measured up to 12 metres. The earthquake triggered the biggest tsunami to originate in New Zealand since 1947, although scarcely noticed in Kaikōura itself because of the combined effect of massive uplift and a low tide"--Introduction, P. 4.
