About 14 000 earthquakes are recorded in New Zealand each year. Many of these are not felt, including some of the largest, which are deep ones occurring in the sparsely populated region of Fiordland.

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.
