The 1968 Inangahua earthquake occurred west of Murchison, New Zealand, near the small town of Inangahua Junction. It struck at 5:24 am NZDT on 24 May 1968 with a depth of only , being extremely shallow for an earthquake of its size. The earthquake had a moment magnitude of 7.1 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of X (''Very Destructive''), and resulted in the deaths of three people, with a further 14 people injured.〔http://www.theprow.org.nz/yourstory/inangahua-earthquake/#.VR3mGtIW1ps〕 This makes it New Zealand's fifth deadliest earthquake in recorded history. Numerous aftershocks followed the quake, including 15 that were magnitude 5 or greater and occurred within a month of the initial shock. ==Tectonic setting== New Zealand lies along the boundary between the Indo-Australian and Pacific Plates. In the South Island most of the relative displacement between these plates is taken up along a single dextral (right lateral) strike-slip fault with a major reverse component, the Alpine Fault. The 1968 Inangahua earthquake occurred along the Northern section of the Alpine Fault, and was considered quite average for what the fault can produce.
