Özet

Açıklama

.... the relatively flat, low terrain of Canterbury Plains stands out in green. These now-lush plains were built on rocky material from the Southern Alps that was ground up and deposited during glacial periods and then distributed by rivers flowing toward the Pacific Ocean. Today, the plains are covered in a patchwork of agriculture patterns.

The image above shows a detailed view of part of the Canterbury Plains near Christchurch, South Island’s largest city. Two of the area’s braided rivers—the Rakia and Waimakariri—cross the plains as they flow from the Southern Alps toward the ocean. The plains extend eastward until reaching Banks Peninsula (Te Pātaka-o-Rākaihautū), at which point the topography changes drastically. Until about 6 million years ago, Banks Peninsula was an active volcanic complex. Since then, water from the sea and from streams have cut away at the rock, helping to shape the peninsula’s valleys, bays, and coastal cliffs.
