Pangaea was once a big continent that split over millions of years. After Pangaea split there were a bunch of islands in the Pacific ocean. The Australian and Pacific plates pushed these islands together to make New Zealand. The plates buckled together and forced the land to rise up and create the Southern Alps, this happened about 5 million years ago.By Laura
Millions of years ago Pangaea was a super continent. Then some million of years later the continents started splitting apart. Then a bunch of scatted islands moved into place to form New Zealand. The Pacific and Australian plates pushed together and created the Sounthern Alps, which were made over 5 million years ago.
