In this paper, interaction between tectonic and geomorphic processes related to oblique plate convergence in the southern part of the North Island of New Zealand is examined with respect to 1) the nature, timing and magnitude of displacement
: way to destinity (planation), continuous adjustment to new conditions, coexistence of diverse forms controlled both by tectonic and climatic factors as well as by lithology.
