Extent
The Hope Fault branches off from the Alpine Fault south of Hokitika and then runs in a nearly straight line for about 230 km to the east coast of South Island just north of Kaikoura, with an offshore continuation of at least 13 km. It consists of several segments, from the southwest end, the Kelly Fault, then the Hurunui, Hope River, Conway and Seaward segments. It takes its name from the Hope River, which follows the trace of much of the Hope River segment.

Famous quotes containing the word extent:
“If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“It is strange to contemplate how little sympathy or encouragement the great mass of people have with one who differs from them in tastes, to the extent of desiring an education, while they are content with little or none.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
“Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
