    New Zealand has a fascinating geological history. In this video we start at the birth of New Zealand and Zealandia, and work our way up to modern day New Zealand. We will cover when and how the alps formed, before exploring some unique geological oddities.

      The Taihape to Napier road is one of my favourite motorcycling roads.
      Amazing landscapes. A couple of years ago I went through it and one of the bridges near Taihape was being repaired and the road was closed to general traffic. I called a contact number on the notification sign and was told to talk to the guys on the bridge and they'll let me across.

    • @Jos-scifiwriter
      @Jos-scifiwriter 6 місяців тому +1

      Um no. Iceland is on a oceanic plate boundary that is rifting apart, new Zealand is continental landmass that is mostly underwater with only 10% exposed. Subduction is occurring in the northern and very southern part of the plate boundary in different directions, but the middle part is sliding past each other at the Alpine fault section of the plate boundary. Two completely different processes which aren't occuring in Iceland. Sorry 😬

      False three major islands and many minor islands. the major islands are the "creatively" named north, south and stuart islands in english, in te reo that would be te ika a maui: the fish of maui for the north island for the south that would te waka a maui: the waka (a boat usually a multi man canoe) of maui and te punga a maui or the anchor hook/ anchor stone of maui though it depends on which tribe you speak to.

      Because the picture of maps of continents land mass is wrong most continents on the map are wrong 1st off I can assure you the continent Antarctica does not look like South America it shows a land mass shaped liked South America but in reality Antarctica land mass surrounds every continent on the global map
      Antarctica is a massive circle of ice and every continent you know of is within the perimeter of Antarctica
      Antarctica the sun doesn’t even set if you don’t believe me go watch a 5 day sun laps of Antarctica on utube you’ll be shocked
