New Zealand contains many glaciers, mostly located near the Main Divide of the Southern Alps in the South Island. They are classed as mid-latitude mountain glaciers. There are eighteen small glaciers in the North Island on Mount Ruapehu.


An inventory of South Island glaciers compiled in the 1980s indicated there were about 3,155 glaciers with an area of at least one hectare (2.5 acres).   Approximately one sixth of these glaciers covered more than 10 hectares. These include:


New Zealand glaciers have been retreating since 1890, with an acceleration of this retreat since 1920. Most of the glaciers have thinned measurably and have reduced in size, and the snow accumulation zones have risen in elevation during the 20th century.

Flat terraces along our coasts also indicate where uplift has occurred. Mountain erosion: Extreme weather conditions drive powerful erosion processes that eat away at the mountains, sculpting them into complex and imposing landscapes.Ice sculpting: Glaciers are giant scrapers that carve out valleys, and carry away rock debris on giant ice conveyor belts. https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332063 2016-06-10 13:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332063 Sinking Basins and Valleys: Uplifted mountains such as the Southern Alps and the North Island ranges stand out as spectacular features. But the push and pull of plate collision also causes large areas of the crust to sink or tilt down.Sedimentary basins: This tectonic downdrop provides large sediment traps that accumulate thick piles of eroded debris. Important resources can be found in these sedimentary basins, such as oil and gas reserves.Ocean floor: On the ocean floor around New Zealand there are large troughs, subsiding back arc basins and also the deep sea trenches that mark the line of plate collision.Faults: On a smaller scale, the Hutt Valley and Wellington Harbour are an example of local subsidence due to tilting of the land surface by local fault displacements.Calderas: In the Taupo Volcanic Zone in the North Island, huge rhyolitic eruptions followed by collapse of the underground magma chambers have led to the creation of large caldera (collapsed craters)such as Lakes Taupo and Rotorua.Image: GNS Science.Drowned landscapes: In some areas the sea has flooded old landscapes. The Marlborough Sounds are a large network of ancient river valleys that have been tilted to the north and drowned by subsidence of the crust on the western side of Cook Strait. Rising sea levels following the last ice age have added to the immersion of this landscape. https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332463 2016-06-10 13:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332463 Explosive Volcanoes:Rising magma generated under great pressure along the subduction zone, has formed the numerous volcanoes of New Zealand.Volcanic landforms – what features are left behind when a volcano erupts?Many smaller landscape features such as geothermal springs, lava flows and ash deposits are widespread results of volcanic activity.Geothermal steam and mud – what happens when cold groundwater meets a hot geothermal system?More about volcanoes in our Learning Zone:New Zealand’s volcanoesUnder the ocean floorEarth Energy – heat from the earth https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332830 2016-06-10 13:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332830 osive Volcanoes:Rising magma generated under great pressure along the subduction zone, has formed the numerous volcanoes of New Zealand.Volcanic landforms – what features are left behind when a volcano erupts?Many smaller landscape features such as geothermal springs, lava flows and ash deposits are widespread results of volcanic activity.Geothermal steam and mud – what happens when cold groundwater meets a hot geothermal system?More about volcanoes in our Learning Zone:New Zealand’s volcanoesUnder the ocean floorEarth Energy – heat from the earth https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332831 2016-06-10 13:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114332831 Time BCN-DUBAI 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114357267 2016-06-10 18:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114357267 Distance: BCN-DUBAI 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114357451 2016-06-10 18:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114357451 CALCULATION SPEED  BCN-DUBAI 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362450 2016-06-10 20:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362450 Time Dubai-Wellington 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362787 2016-06-10 20:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362787 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362948 2016-06-10 20:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114362948 CALCULATION OF SPEED  DUBAI-WELLINGTON 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114363263 2016-06-10 21:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114363263 HEARE WE LEVE YOU A VERY GOOD PAGE TO LEARN ADITIONAL INFORMATION. 08084_casp https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114363342 http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Learning/Science-Topics/Landforms/Explosive-Volcanoes]]> 2016-06-10 21:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/08084_casp/47i9bqdgbgsl/wish/114363342
