  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

Best copy available. ABSTRACT Castlecliffian deposits of the Mangatarata Formation are widespread in the Dannevirke Basin, a fault angle depression on the east coast of ~orth Island , New Zealand . The basin is 80km long and 19-24km wide, is bounded to the east by the upthrust Waewaepa-Oruawharo High and lo the west by the upthrust front of the Ruahine Ranges. The basin floor is br Jken by three major axial-trending anticlinal folds. Basin development began during early Pliocene times with subsidence continuing into the Nukumaruan. Uplift during Castlecliffian time was accompanied by deposition of the Mangatarata Formation. Four facies associations are recognised in deposits of the Mangatarata Formation. r.:~ies association one comprises greywacke rubble and gravel deposited in proximal ") distal alluvial fan environments. Facies association two is dominated by fluvially ucposited, cross-bedded sand and gravelly sand with associated overbank fine deposits. Facies association three is generally a fossiliferous, flaser bedded silt to fine grained san~. deposited in a tidal/estuarine environment. Facies association four is a rarely fossiliferous, fine grained, centimetre bedded silt deposited in a locally subsiding, interfluvial lacustrine ~nvironment.

Both structures are promised as soon as the land given, by the settlers is conveyed to the Board..[Mr McCardle gave the land] 30th July 1883 The sooner we have our school now the better. We are in good hopes that it will be ready by the latter end of spring. 28th November 1883 Mr McCardle’s offer of two acres for school site at Pahiatua was accepted with thanks 8th December 1883. Mr Wm. Bogle has offered to give an acre of land in Pahiatua, in a convenient position, for a school site, and a petition favouring the erection of a school upon it, has been largely signed by the settlers.
