How Canterbury was formed

The Canterbury pains are formed from gravel sand and clay. The shape of Canterbury has changed because of time and because of earthquakes that have happened over time. The gravel came from several of the larger rivers known as the Waimakariri Selwyn Rakaia and the Rangitata. Banks Peninsula was formed by volcanoes erupting but they are now extinct. The south island is basically built on a fault line that must have gone off and made New Zealand. The South Island could change soon because the alpine fault could go off any time soon.

Do you know where all the rivers are.
