One oblong perspex covered 3-D model of the fault plains associated with the 4 September 2010 Darfield earthquake; top of the model also acts as a map overlay. Geologists continue to study the 4 September 2010 earthquake and consider it is likely to have been a complex event with several faults rupturing simultaneously. This model provides one ...
