Hello Dave,

Thank you for sharing your seismogram data from the Mw 6.3 earthquake in the Kermadec Islands. As a fellow scientist, I find it fascinating to see the effects of seismic events on different regions of the world.

The Kermadec Islands are located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for its high levels of seismic activity. In fact, this earthquake is just one of many that have occurred in the area in recent years. It is important for us to continue monitoring and studying these events in order to better understand the Earth's tectonic processes and potentially improve our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts of future earthquakes.

Thank you again for sharing your findings and contributing to the scientific community's understanding of earthquakes. Keep up the great work!
