Rūaumoko, son of sky father Ranginui (Rangi) and earth mother Papatūānuku (Papa), is thought responsible for all violent stirrings beneath the earth. The rumblings of earthquakes, the molten hiss of volcanoes, and the inevitable rolling change of seasons.
What is the story?
Rūaumoko was at his mother's breast when this happened, so he was carried into the world below. He was given fire for warmth by Tama-kaka, and his movements below the earth cause earthquakes and volcanoes. Rūaumoko is also known as the husband of his niece Hine-Nui-te-pō, the goddess of death and a daughter of Tāne.
What had the people observed and used to explain what was happening?
When there is an earthquake he is waking up which causes them to move and it is just like Pregnancy because when you are inside of the belly you are always kicking and moving around in there.
