It commences at the very beginning with the microcontinent Zealandia breaking away from Gondwana, and follows the evolution of the landmass and its landforms until the present day. It explores the effect of climate change on the islands' landscape and, in particular, the interaction of tectonic and climatic processes as the mountain ranges emerged. The book investigates the origins of many landscape features, including New Zealand's volcanoes and mountains, rivers and fluvial landscapes, glacial fjords and glacial history, karst and caves, and landform evolution at the mobile land-sea interface. New Zealand Landscape concludes with a review of the suite of geophysical hazards that occur in New Zealand and confront people living in the landscape. It considers the risk that these hazards present and the measures sometimes taken to mitigate them"--$cBack cover. 606 $aLandscapes$zNew Zealand 607 $aNew Zealand$xDescription and travel 615 0$aLandscapes 676 $a919.31 700 $aWilliams$b Paul W.$0309363 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583302703321 996 $aNew Zealand landscape$92029480 997 $aUNINA
