Does New Zealand have earthquakes?

All of New Zealand has earthquakes. Have a look for a map of NZ earthquakes 1990 - 99 on the gns.cri.nz website. Shallow earthquakes are spread indifferently throughout NZ. And these are the ones of most importance to buildings etc. Deep earthquakes have a different distribution, and are more closely associated with the descending Pacific Plate. The shallow earthquakes reflect the strains generated by the plate movement and the subsequent redistribution of strains.
