No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: Canterbury Plain, spreading out from Christchurch. In this excellent detailed view uplifted shoreline deposits can be seen to line the coast, testifying to ongoing tectonic activity in the region. The Waimakariri and Ashley Rivers carry sediments eroded from the Southern Alps; the rate of erosion keeps pace with the rate of alpine uplift--about 10 mm per year.
