At the Southern end of the this biggest Zone we clearly see the faults which cut through the capital city of Wellington.  We can learn about the recent uplifts from violent earthquakes.

Volcanoes are found in many places we learn to recognise them from their shapes and rocks. This is the only zone where we can view a shield volcano and a lava tunnel.

Rivers are found everywhere generally they are slow moving, meandering and sedate away from the hills.  among the highlands the rivers have cut deep valleys and these are continuously slipping with the rains and human activity.

Groups indicate the areas they want to concentrate on and KANES plan accordingly
