2 © Janison Solutions Pty Ltd PART 2 – READING AND LANGUAGE Read Visit the Moeraki Boulders and answer the questions.

The Moeraki Boulders are found on a small stretch of beach at a place called Moeraki on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. These unusual round stones appear to be easing their way out of the ground like giant prehistoric pimples.

Maori legend

The indigenous Ngai Tahu people of the area have a legend linking the formation of the Moeraki Boulders to the wreck of the canoe Arai Te Uru. According to the legend, as the canoe was travelling south it foundered in a storm near Moeraki. Its cargo was washed up on nearby beaches and the round food baskets and water gourds became the Moeraki Boulders. The hills surrounding Moeraki are said to represent the great waves which overwhelmed the canoe.

A scientific explanation

Scientists explain the formation of the Moeraki Boulders in a different way. It is believed their formation began about 60 million years ago. Chemical changes occurred in the muddy sediment which covered the area around Moeraki. These changes resulted in the formation of concretions (hard round masses which form in sedimentary rocks). Geologists estimate it would take 120 000 years for the formation of a small concretion (less than 0.5 metres across) and about four million years for a large one (over two metres across). Some of the Moeraki boulders are more than two metres in diameter. In the last few million years, the cliffs containing the boulders have weathered, exposing more of these giant spheres.

Today tourists can walk down to the beach and wander among ancient geological giants. These natural features are significant for their scientific value and are also an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Ngai Tahu people.
