1970 New Guinea earthquake
The 1970 New Guinea earthquake struck the eponymous island and shocked the city of Madang on October 31. Causing between five and fifteen fatalities, it rocked the island and sent landslides cascading down steep hills into poorly reinforced wooden huts. The area that experienced the most powerful intensity extended out from the epicenter. Underwater landslides triggered by the earthquake caused minor tsunami over about 100 km of coast and severed underwater cables in several places.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Comments for the Tsunami Event )〕
== Geography and geology ==
The earthquake took place near Madang, approximately northwest of Port Moresby. Generally, it was on the northeast coast. The earthquake is thought to have been a result of strike-slip faulting in the area of complex structure along the boundary between the Pacific and Australian Plates. Registering a Richter scale magnitude of 7.0, the earthquake took place at 7:53 am HST. Ray Sundean, the director of the Tsunami Warning Center in the area, cited the area as "one having frequent earthquaks."〔
