Earth deformation in relation to town planning in New Zealand
Summary Earth deformation is shown to extend well beyond the planes of active faults, to vary with the nature of the tectonic regime; it is confined to a zone which varies in width from about 40 metres to several kilometres and is controlled by the development of secondary features. Faults are classified into earthquake generating and earthquake generated faults. The latter are further separated into secondary shear features, bedding faults — both dip slip and strike slip — ridge rents, compaction faults and contact faults. Strike slip bedding faults can develop either as a result of shear or as a result of folding. The latter demonstrate a conjugate strike relationship with active faults and thus areas potentially prone to their development can be identified. A range of active folds is discussed and illustrated. The New Zealand Geological Survey classification of active faults and its application to town planning is discussed.
