SYDNEY, March 5 (Xinhua) A tsunami warning for Australia Norfolk Island remained in place on Friday afternoon, following a series of earthquakes northeast of New Zealand.
Norfolk Island is around 1,450 km east of the Australian mainland and roughly 1,100 km north west of New Zealand s northern tip.
Tsunami activity was recorded at Norfolk Island on Friday morning, according to Australia s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), with a sea level gauge registering a 64 centimeter surge. Tsunami waves are more powerful than the same size beach wave. It is the power rather than the height that makes tsunami waves so destructive, hence dangerous to swimmers and boaters, the BOM said in a statement.
