Dunes & Drifting

 

New Zealand's coasts are swept with currents, storm impacted, twisted and torn by tectonic movements and sliced by multitudes of spectacular purging rivers.
KANES arrange timings and transportation to ensure maximum benefit from learning opportunities.

Studies Available
KANES
take us to different sites of interest as well as access audio visuals and guidance at for study groups. At the various sites we learn about the causes, processes, effects, uses, management systems and controls relating to various features we view:
●  Bays
formed by the erosion of the waves.
●  Waves high & low energy waves, counting techniques
●  Estuaries including: formations, tidal scouring, rivers, life special sea life.
● 
Tectonics uplift and lower coats creating sounds and fiords
●  Harbours, within rivers, volcanoes, tectonic openings, estuaries, lava flows and more 
 Headlands
●  Arches  Interesting self standing formations that are part of the erosion process
●  
Stacks   Formations left standing after the collapse of an arch
 Wave caves
 Wave cut platforms
 Recreation: surfing, fishing, boating, surf sailing.
 Vegetation; Management uses to people, conservation programs.
 Animals: Seals, shell fish, crustaceans, snails.
 Coastal Settlements: Land conservation, waste management, attractions etc.
●  Long-shore drifting deposition & erosion factors
●  Spits
●  Dunes  Movements formation, protection,
●  Conservation and management of all features of use to man and nature
●
