Experts claim New Zealand could be hit with more strong earthquakes in a matter of days

On the Richter scale, 7.9 is a major earthquake that can inflict serious damage and generate tsunamis.  Scientists from New Zealand s government advisory service GeoNet warned it is very likely that the North Island s East Cape will suffer strong aftershocks over the next month. This includes the potential for earthquakes in the M7.0-M7.9 range (more than 80 per cent probability within the next 30 days), GeoNet s website warned on Friday.   The warning comes after a series of strong tremors rocked the North Island on Friday.   Aftershocks up to 5.6 magnitude have been striking about 174km northeast of Gisborne, NZ, as of Friday night (pictured: the US Geological Service monitor). New Zealand s northern region is now on high alert for more major earthquakes and tsunamis
