 The Great Ka`u Earthquake of 1868
A more complex model, based on the sequence of events between March 27 and April 2, and on newly acquired bathymetric data offshore, suggests that there are two separate landslide stuctures on the south flank of the island, and that each moved during this sequence of events.
In this model, the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on March 28 was triggered by movement of a landslide structure bounded by the southwest rift zone of Mauna Loa Volcano, a fault extending from the southwest rift zone through Waiohinu and beyond the coast at Hanuapo Bay, and by the western part of the Kaoiki fault zone.
In this model, the Kilauea south flank moved because it was triggered by the shaking caused by the earlier magnitude 7.1 event.

It is to the background to the events of 1867 and 1868, and the events themselves, that this narrative will now turn to show their particular significance for the territorial integrity of Qatar and its title to the entire peninsula as well as the adjoining islands.
In particular, the Ruler undertook, in the event of aggression against himself, his territories or subjects, that no act of aggression or retaliation would be committed at sea on other tribes by Bahrainis or in the name of Bahrain, without the consent of the Resident or the British Government.
Furthermore, the British perception of these events was obvious; as a result of the Agreements of 1868, the territories of Qatar and Bahrain were to remain separated without interference from one or the other and their integrity respected.
