| Quote From Source: | NEW ZEALAND - scientists were monitoring seismic activity at the edge of the Auckland volcanic field after three small earthquakes shook an offshore island. Auckland, the country's biggest city with a population of 1.3 million, is built on six extinct volcanoes, but earthquakes are rarely felt. Three shakes were recorded on Waiheke Island, 30km east of the city, in just over 12 hours, the last and biggest at a magnitude of 3.3 on the Richter scale on Wednesday morning. A series of quakes that size would not normally be considered significant, but the location was UNUSUAL and seismic activity will be monitored although there was no cause for concern at this stage.
