It is the site of the country's capital and largest city, Suva, and home to a large majority of Fiji's population. Fiji lies in a tectonically complex area between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate. The Fiji Platform lies in a zone bordered by active extension fault lines, around which most of the shallow earthquakes in the area have been centred. These fault lines are: the Fiji Fracture Zone to the north; the 176° Extension Zone to the west; and the Hunter Fracture Zone and Lau Ridge to the east.
