The Maoris were the first inhabitants of New
Zealand, arriving on the islands around 950 CE.
The word 'Maori' means 'the original people'.
Legend says that the Maoris came in seven canoes
from the eastern parts of Polynesia.
They called New Zealand Aotearoa which means,
'the land of the long white clouds'.

The Dutch sea captain Abel Tasman discovered New
Zealand in the late seventeenth century.
But it was only in 1769 that Captain James Cook of the
British Navy explored several islands of New Zealand.
The British proclaimed their sovereignty over the islands in
1840. There was a series of land wars between the Maoris
and the British between 1843 and 1872.
The British colony of New Zealand finally became an
independent dominion in 1907.

The North Island, which was formed as a result of volcanic
activity under the sea, contains the world's maximum
concentration of active volcanoes.
The Taupo Volcanic Zone has been very active in the past
sixteen years. Mount Ruapehu is an active volcano of this
region.
The Auckland Volcanic Field is currently dormant but it
has been estimated to contain at least forty dormant volcanoes
that may erupt any time.
NORTH ISLAND
![Page 21: History of new zealand](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/587ae75a1a28ab7f378b495d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The North Island contains a number of mountain ranges and hills.
Mount Tongariro, Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Ruapehu are the
three highest peaks.
Lake Taupo, the largest lake of New Zealand, is a volcanic crater
lake. It gives rise to the Waikato River which is the longest in the
country.
The Waikato River has formed a large fertile plain in the north-
western part of North Island. This is called the Waikato plain. This
region is heavily populated.
![Page 22: History of new zealand](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/587ae75a1a28ab7f378b495d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In the North lies New Zealand's thermal region, around the
town of Rotorua.
This region is famous for hot springs.
It has fertile soil which is good for pastoral farming.

SOUTH ISLANDDominated by the Southern Alps, a long mountain
chain that runs
along the west coast of the island.
The highest peak of New Zealand, Mount Cook
(3,754 m), is located here.
These mountains, though not very high, have a
number of glaciers.

Temperate climate and plentiful rainfall make
New Zealand ideal for farming.
The Canterbury Plains on the east coast of the
South Island is the most fertile region of the
country.
Farming is highly mechanised due to the
shortage of farm labour.

Pastoral farming is a major economic activity in New Zealand.
Merino sheep are raised here for their fine wool.
Sheep and cattle are also reared for their meat.

Dairy farming is a very important occupation of the people of New
Zealand.
The important area is the Waikato Plain which is one of the most
productive grass growing areas of the world.
.
Co-operative societies are a special feature in New Zealand and the
dairymen are probably the most efficient producers of milk in the world.
Highly developed refrigeration facilities help in transporting dairy
products over long distances.
New Zealand earns a lot of foreign exchange by exporting butter,
cheese and milk powder.

WATER POWER
Eight dams have been constructed across the Waikato River in North
Island.
90% of the country's electricity requirements are fulfilled by HYDEL
POEWR
![Page 50: History of new zealand](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062316/587ae75a1a28ab7f378b495d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
About 9% of the total electricity generated in New Zealand comes from
the geothermal plants situated in the volcanic plateau of North Island.
These plants utilise the heat energy of the hot springs and geysers. Hot
springs are produced by the emergence of heated groundwater from
the Earth's crust.
The Wairakei Geothermal Plant, which has been built beside the
Waikato River, lies on an active volcanic zone.

New Zealand has an excellent transport system. Roads and highways
connect the interiors of the country to the coastal areas.
Railways link all the main cities.
Water transport is very important. Ferries carry goods and
passengers between the two islands. Auckland and Wellington are the
busiest ports.
New Zealand is connected by air to all the important cities of the world.
Air New Zealand is the official airline of New Zealand.
