ROCK LANDFORMS of Australia and New Zealand

		Metamorphic landforms have formed from altered rocks Metamorphic rocks have originated from previous rocks that have been changed through the processes of heat, or pressure, or both. Considerable portions of the surfaces of Australian and New Zealand are covered by this rock type. Just west of Brisbane there are clearly visible metamorphic aureoles. In the NZ Alps it is possible to examine a cross-section sequence of metamorphic rocks of different grades. This section of ROCK LANDFORMS of Australia and New Zealand will illustrate key aspects of geomorphology associated with metamorphic rocks through pictures, text and sketches.
