Abstract
Rates of vertical and horizontal movement at the Alpine Fault Zone and within the adjacent Alpine Schists (Haast Schist Group) are deduced from K-Ar age data of metamorphic and mylonitic rocks. The relative contributions of Jurassic-Cretaceous (Rangitata) and Miocene-Recent (Kaikoura) orogenic phases are also estimated.Keywords
