Science records about 14,000 earthquakes in and around New Zealand each year. Most are small, but between 100 and 150 are big enough to be felt. The Institute records these earthquakes on a nationwide network of instruments called seismographs. New Zealand's position on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific plates is the reason for the large number of earthquakes.
