#earthquakes have created some #NewZealand #waterfalls, often through the upthrust of rock along a fault. The #murchisonearthquake of 1929 produced the #maruiafalls through a different process – a landslide in the #maruiavalley. This diverted the course of the Maruia River further west, forcing it to cut a new channel over an old river bank. Once the river had eroded the gravels, the bank became the Maruia Falls.
