The Australian and New Zealand landmasses display a diverse array of landforms that are the culmination of both endogenic and exogenic processes. The dominant processes, however, may be
quite different in each country, as a result of their differing geological history, tectonic setting and climates.
Your task in this assignment is to:
Compare and contrast the dominant endogenic and exogenic processes shaping a relatively old (Australia) and young (New Zealand) landmass. In your answer, explain why the relative
influences of the endogenic and exogenic processes you have identified differ between the two landmasses.
