Horohoro Fault

Horohoro Cliffs formed by the fault (view is from the air towards the west above south western edge of the Kapenga Caldera).

The inactive southern portion (red dots) and active northern portion (red line) of the Horohoro Fault in the old Taupō Rift (light yellow shading), North Island, New Zealand. Other relevant geology is shown to reflect the controversy relating to the fault. The possible outline in white of the Ohakuri Caldera at the southern end with surrounding Ohakuri ignimbrite (yellow) is shown. The modern Taupō Rift (light red shading) and Hauraki Rift (light purple shading) are shown for context. Landmarks such as Lake Taupō, Lake Rotorua, Mount Tarawera are shown for orientation. The dome Ngautuku is identified for reasons not associated with the fault.
