The general case of faulting and river erosion (both lateral and vertical) is discussed. It is shown that the presence of channels and a knowledge of tread widths are needed to measure actual lateral fault displacement, and differences in riser heights are needed to find the true rate of downcutting. To compare rates of faulting with rates of downcutting, only horizontal faulting can be used in that part of New Zealand where the deformation consists dominantly of lateral shear.
