To better understand past tectonic environments in the Tāmaki Makaurau-Auckland region of northern Aotearoa-New Zealand, we examine normal faults with Miocene to Quaternary movements dissecting the Early Miocene Waitematā Group. Structural data were collected from coastal outcrops, including fault geometry and kinematics, and reveal a dominant NE-trending strike direction, indicating NW-SE extension. Faults dissecting coeval and younger Waitākere Group rocks west of the study site exhibit the same NE-striking fabric, and thus may represent the westward continuation of Waitematā Group extensional structures. Furthermore, a NE-trending normal fault fabric is present within the adjacent Taranaki Basin, suggesting that the observed extension in the Waitematā Group was widespread over northern Aotearoa, with some extension still occurring today in southern parts of the Taranaki Basin. We propose that many of the observed normal faults in the Waitematā Group represent the northern portion of the Taranaki Basin fault system, with the Taranaki faults likely representing the younger continuation of the extension recorded in the Waitematā Basin, resulting from the migration of back-arc extension due to roll-back of the Hikurangi subduction margin.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135825474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the fault’s proximity to major and expanding population centres, new work was undertaken to understand its contribution to seismic hazard in the Wellington-Levin corridor. Two paleoseismic trenches excavated across the southern end of the Tokomaru Fault, close to its junction with the Northern Ōhāriu Fault, show that it and the Northern Ōhāriu Fault are more active than previously thought. Ages of the two youngest events on the Tokomaru Fault are 93–220 and 1179–1254 cal yr BP, and result in a recurrence interval of 470–2300 years. These ages agree with the two youngest events on the Ōhāriu Fault and the timing of some events on the Wellington Fault. This suggests that the Tokomaru, Northern Ōhāriu, Ōhāriu, and Wellington faults may have ruptured together in the past, have triggered earthquakes on each other, or host slip that is triggered by larger nearby earthquakes. The results of this work illustrate the importance of fault interactions in the southern North Island and show that even if faults here do not rupture together, they likely play a key role in influencing the earthquake behaviour of each other.KEYWORDS: Northern Ōhāriu FaultTokomaru FaultHorowhenuaKāpiti Coastearthquakepaleoseismic trenchingrecurrence intervalfault interactions AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Daniel and Rebecca Kilsby-Halliday, and Blair and Anna Robinson for access and allowing us to excavate on their land.

Reverse reactivation of basement faults of the W-FFS by mechanisms of fault-propagation folding at c. 19-10 Ma occurred along the entire length of the fault system. However, the W-FFS remained Quaternary active only from the vicinity of Cape Soucis southwards into onshore Nelson, in contrast with cessation of activity along eastern Tasman Bay since 7 Ma. The inactive western faults of the W-FFS are buried below Plio-Quaternary marine sediments and segmented by the newly identified, c. E-W, Croisilles Fault Zone, Cross Point and D’Urville faults, with cumulative dextral offset of c. 27 km. The c. E-W faults extend from the onshore into Tasman Bay and are interpreted as the northernmost Late Miocene strands of the Marlborough Fault System that have accommodated incipient distributed shear in the crustal block north of the Queen Charlotte Fault Zone. Segmentation and along-strike changes of the W-FFS occur at the transition from the contractional domain of onshore Nelson to the northern Marlborough strike-slip domain, driven by large-scale kinematics of the Australia-Pacific plate boundary.KEYWORDS: Waimea-Flaxmore Fault SystemActive faultsFoldsSeismic linesNelsonTasman BayD’urville IslandMarlboroughSouth IslandNew Zealand AcknowledgementsWe thank I.
