The general environment of New Zealand during the Cenozoic was that of a mobile belt, characterized by the formation and disruption of small depositional basins and especially by various kinds of tectonic reliefs due to active transcurrent faulting in the Quaternary. Active faults in New Zealand have been studied by many researchers and a lot of results have been published. In this papcr, a short review is given as to the recent studies on active faults in New Zealand including their classification and the distribution and some typical examples of tectonic rclief by progressive faulting, are introduced. Surface features along the Wairau, Hope, West Wairarapa and Wellington Faults are explained as examples of deformation belonging to the Alpine Fault system which is characterized by dominant right-lateral displacement, and two active faults, the White Creek and Glasgow Faults, which have left-lateral component, are also described. Details of suface features due to active fault are shown in figures and photographs.
