New Zealand's Wild Geology

#newzealand #geology #volcanoes
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.

Great info, I believe the locals have recently found the pink & white terraces exact location, there's a video on YT I believe. Under the lake now of course but finally located.

I'm off to NZ in May, and cannot wait 😃. I've always wanted to see a glacier up close and personal 💖💖🇦🇺

[dobbygfred]

Awesome information. Have recommended you channel to others at our Uni.

My great-grandmother had to jump in a waka with her eldest child to escape the eruption. She lived and had my grand dad in 1900 - yes, I’m old! One of these days, I’m heading back to NZ after, half a life-time of living overseas. I’ve enjoyed this series very much.

Not bad pronunciations, especially for an Aussie! Jarring to hear Taupo done correctly, in your accent haha.

We must thank our neighbour Australia and their plate for our continued (partially) dry existence.

[mitchellpowell]

can you please make a video on the mt Ruapehu lahar and the Auckland volcanic field.

[claudegrayson]

as a teenager anyone could walk down ito the Mt tarawera crater and if you stamped your foot it sounded hollow..I thought recently that they had located the position of the terraces and found they hadnt been completly destroyed, just buried

[project-fiat]

A little disappointed, video jumps around a lot covering the same thing... didn't really cover the widely diverse biomes within nz and how that's reflected in the geology

[CoolCoyote]

and I believe that my countries Pacific ocean side once met up with California they have black sands and white sands, we have black sand, white sands and pink sands they have the purply pink

Been working up on the Kaimanawa Mountain, Central North Island Alpine High Country, east of the TVZ. Uplifted sedimentary rock, incredible place. Will put up more videos in the future.

KiaOra Ozgeo. South Island's vulcanism preceeded the North Island. (Dunedin, Christchurch, Akaroa & Chatham Islands) A further discussion on this topic would be appreciated, hardly anyone covers it.

Wow It's Impressive That New Zealand Is a Pair of Two Islands

[karamia]

What a marvellous video. NZ is amazing and you conveyed that. I’ve only been to the north island but I adored it and amazing geology.

[XGlyphzzz]

Hey Oz geographics! I have done some extensive research on something that could be a good new video idea, I've been finding a hell of a lot of undiscovered impact craters in the Australian outback, could I share my findings with you?

[elgringo]

Your lost pink cliffs or falls, meh, of NZ best vid yet xx

[kevinbyrne]

Was New Zealand larger at the time of the last ice age when sea levels were lower?

[YungnPisa]

Peoplr think maoris were the first on new zealand but it was actually the guamanesian or Southern Thaiwanesian (the ones from thailand or their beginerrs the vietmamese

[fishingfan]

You sound exactly like modest pelican!
