This unique rock formation always catches my eye when I pass by 788 North Avenue 50.

The first two miles of the trail follows Sibley Creek, which traces roughly a fault line between a dark slate-like metamporphic rock with lots of interesting streaks and inclusions (in the middle distance, center of the photo) and a light-colored granite (in the foreground).

These fault detectors light up when a fault has been detected on the line.

This is a great way to start the day

The road had many major cracks and patches along the fault.

Visited a friend's outcrop, and found this on the floor.

It was interesting going into the fault and seeing how the earth changed due to plate movement.

An inkling of why the geology is so strikingly different on the opposite sides of the road.

Running through our two groups is the Alpine Fault, which cuts through the South Island and marks the contact of the Australian plate and the Pacific plate. Clearly the Pacific plate is the more fun loving plate and the Australian plate is a bunch of losers.

 

The concrete wall we're on was erected in the hopes of providing a visual record of any displacement, but amusingly movement seems to be taken up by a splay called the Hope Fault causing the Alpine Fault in this area to be motionless.
