One oblong perspex covered 3-D model of the fault plains that ruptured to cause the 22 February and 13 June 2011 earthquakes; top of the model also acts as a map overlay. This model provides a visual demonstration of the geological forces that caused the 22 February and 13 June 2011 earthquakes. These forces were so strong that parts of the Por...
