WELLINGTON Cheap Air Force 1 Special Field High Boots Faded Olive UK , Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Last November's 7.8-magnitude Kaikoura quake in New Zealand's South Island triggered a series of major slow-slip events, or "silent" earthquakes, beneath the east coast of the North Island, showed a new research from GNS released on Tuesday.


It was the largest and most widespread episode of slow-slip observed in New Zealand, since scientists first recognized this phenomenon under the seafloor east of Gisborne on the east coast of the North Island in 2002, according to the paper published in Nature Geoscience by researchers from GNS Science.


Slow-slip events are very similar to earthquakes Cheap Air Force 1 HI Supreme Le Black Gold UK , as they involve more rapid than normal movement between two pieces of the Earth's crust along a fault. However, unlike earthquakes, where the movement occurs in seconds, movement in these "silent earthquakes" can take weeks to months to occur, the paper explains.


According to the study's lead author and geophysicist, Laura Wallace of GNS Science Cheap Off White x Air Force 1 Low The Ten All White UK , "This is probably the clearest example worldwide of large-scale slow slip being triggered over long distances by seismic waves from a large earthquake."


"One of the most intriguing factors is that the quake triggered slow-slip off the Gisborne coast, up to 600 km away from its epicenter in North Canterbury," Wallace said.


Seismologist Yoshihiro Kaneko, of GNS Science, said the slow-slip was triggered by stress changes in the Earth's crust caused by passing seismic waves from the Kaikoura quake.


Kaneko said the study also suggested that the northward travelling rupture during the Kaikoura quake directed strong pulses of seismic energy towards the North Island, and this also influenced the long-distance triggering of the slow-slip events beneath the North Island.


The east coast slow-slip event was also responsible for sparking a series of small to moderate earthquakes off the east coast in November last year Cheap Men's Air Force 1 SF AF1 Mid Boots Ivory UK , Kaneko said.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazil international midfielder Juninho Pernambucano has been suspended for two Campeonato Brasileiro matches after being found guilty of separate misconduct charges.


A Rio sports tribunal handed the 38-year-old one-match bans for a reckless tackle and making an obscene gesture to fans during Vasco's 1-1 draw with Flamengo at the Maracana stadium earlier this month.


He will miss the Rio outfit's trip to Ponte Preta on Sunday and the home clash against Coritiba on November 3.


Vasco are currently 17th in the league standings with just 33 points from 30 matches. The bottom four clubs - from 17th to 20th - will be relegated to Serie B in December.


Juninho has been one of Vasco's few form players since rejoining the club in July after a six-month spell with Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.

Roger Federer cruised into the French Open second round on Sunday before having to quickly side-step a spectator who breached tight security to race -toward the Swiss legend on the showpiece Philippe Chatrier Court.


Federer Cheap Men's Air Force 1 Low Tan Brown Red UK , the 2009 champion and seeded two this year, began his 62nd consecutive Grand Slam with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 win over Colombian "lucky loser" Alejandro Falla.


It was Federer's eighth win in eight matches against Falla.


He fired 43 winners in one hour and 50 minutes and looked more concerned when a fan sprinted from the stands and past muscular security guards in an -effort to grab a selfie with the 17-time major winner.


Although the 33-year-old Federer was not harmed and the fan was prevented from reaching his target, the incident will lead to more questions over security at the event which has endured similar court invasions in the past.


Federer, one of a record 39 men over 30 in the first round Cheap Men's Air Force 1 Low University Red Sail UK , is desperate to make the most of a kind draw which dumped top seed Novak Djokovic, nine-time champion Rafael Nadal and third seed Andy Murray all in the opposite half.


As a result, he can only face one of his main rivals for the title in the June 7 final and not before.


Federer's Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka, the eighth seed, took just 96 minutes to make the second round, seeing off Turkey's Marsel Ilhan 6-3 Cheap Women's Air Force 1 High X girl All Red UK , 6-2, 6-3.


German 22nd seed Philipp Kohlschreiber saw off Japan's Go Soeda 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 while volatile Russian Mikhail Youzhny retired with a back injury after dropping the first two sets against Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur.


In the women's singles, Romania's Simona Halep, the 2014 runner-up and third seed Cheap Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Men's Royal Blue UK , saw off Russian world No.91 Evgeniya Rodina 7-5, 6-4 and next -faces Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, the Croatian -player who knocked her out of the US Open last year.


Russian ninth seed Ekaterina -Makarova breezed past US wild card Louisa Chirico 6-4, 6-2.


Spanish 21st seed Garbine Muguruza, who shocked Serena Williams in the second round last year, beat Croatian qualifier Petra Martic 6-2 Cheap Black Air Force 1 Flyknit Low UK , 7-5.
