View from the southern end of Waihi Fault Zone north. A strike of the Waihi-South fault commences across the valley in the foreground and the fault zone extends past the western slopes of the Mount Tongariro massive in distance. The top of the cone of Mount Ngauruhoe is hidden by cloud but is to the east of the fault zone, as are the snow covered areas of Mount Tongariro behind it.

Intra-arc continental rifts North Island, New Zealand. Red approximately delineates the active modern Taupō Rift, yellow the inactive old Taupō Rift, and purple the still active Hauraki Rift. The rifts intersect in an area where volcanic deposits over 2 million years have buried non active fault systems. There is very complex active normal faulting in the Taupō Rift aligned mainly (apart from at the inland termination of the rift) with the rift alignment.
