Dive into the unique geology of New Zealand with our "Pacific Ring of Fire Mini Unit (New Zealand Sample Pack)", a sample from our full New Zealand unit!! This sample offers a sneak peek into the complete four-week country study.
This mini-unit provides a focused look at the forces of nature that have shaped the country: its location on the volatile Pacific Ring of Fire.
Inside This Sample Pack:
The Pacific Ring of Fire: Discover how New Zealand's position at the boundary of the Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate results in its unique geography, geothermal features, and seismic activity. Learn about the strong volcanic activity on the North Island and the intense earthquakes on the South Island.
Mapping the Pacific Ring of Fire Activity: The Champagne Pool - Explore one of the world-famous geothermal hot springs located in the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland in Rotorua. Learn how the continuous release of carbon dioxide (CO2) creates a bubbling effect like champagne. Discover how minerals like gold, silver, mercury, and arsenic create the vibrant colors of orange, green, and yellow. Find out why the pool has a characteristic sulfur smell ("rotten eggs") due to hydrogen sulfide gas.
Champagne Pool Painting Activity – A hands-on guide to recreating the pool's striking colors and mineral deposits. Get the Complete New Zealand Unit!
