Themagnitude 7.8 quake, centered in the ocean near Resolution Island inthe country's Fiordland region, twisted South Island out of shape andmoved its southern tip 12 inches (30 centimeters) closer to Australia,seismologist Ken Gledhill said.

Gledhill, director of government-owned GNS Science's"GeoNet" national earthquake monitoring project, said the island'sgeographic shift showed the immensity of the forces involved.

"Basically,it's taken us closer to Australia," he told National Radio. "Thecountry is deforming all the time because of being on the plateboundary, but this has done it in a few seconds, rather than waitinghundreds of years."

Last Wednesday's quake was the largest inthe world this year and New Zealand's biggest in 80 years. No majordamage has been found in the sparsely populated Fiordland region ofSouth Island's west coast.

"New Zealand has been veryfortunate. This earthquake anywhere else would have caused hugedamage," Gledhill said. He said the quake's impact will provide"invaluable information" on the underlying structure of the country.

Martin Reyners,principal scientist for GNS Science, said earlier that a shallowtemblor of such magnitude would typically cause widespread damage andloss of life. Last week's quake, however, occurred in "soft rocks"between two tectonic plates, muffling its power, he said.

Reynerssaid the rocks had lurched rather than snapped, causing a low-frequencyrolling rather than the high-frequency waves that are known to damagebuildings.
