Image Caption: Wellington, North Island, New Zealand. Fine view of southernmost North Island, where the crust of the island is being stretched. The long, straight Wellington fault in the center of the view is seismically active and Lake Wairapa, the larger of the two (Lake Ferry is the smaller), occupies a fault valley. Along the east coast, the crumpled appearance of the ridges results from uplift and piling up of seafloor sediments on the landward side of the Hikurangi trench.
