The Canterbury earthquake was 7.1 on the Richter scale, and unusually shallow at 10 km. It is expected that the largest aftershock could be up to 6 on the Richter scale, and they are expected to last for many months. This particular fault line, previously unknown, has been quiet for at least 16 000 years - before the current glacial and gravel outwashes created the Canterbury Plains.
The Southern Ocean is approximately 7.848 million square miles. The Southern Ocean circles Antarctica. it is one of the 5 oceans in the world.
In the United Kingdom, a size 11 shoe would translate to a size 29 in New Zealand. It would also be a 45 EU size and a 12 in the United States.
