Velocity Model

This shows the velocities of stations in the active control network.

Straddling the boundary between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, New Zealand is continuously deforming. The velocities of marks shown are defined by the NZGD2000 datum. They are derived from surveys between 1990 and 1998.
