ROCK LANDFORMS of Australia & New Zealand

Igneous landforms are 'born of fire'
    Significant portions of the land surfaces of Australia and New Zealand are covered by rocks that were originally molten. The range of landforms developed upon this rock type includes volcanic spires, lava plains, crater lakes and granite domes and boulders.
    This section of ROCK LANDFORMS of Australia and New Zealand will illustrate key aspects of geomorphology associated with igneous rocks through pictures, text and sketches.
