I think the canterbury plains moved east by a few metres, away trying to get further away from aussie - can't really blame them either :D

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

liquefaction is what is theorized that truly destroyed the ancient cities of sodom and gomorrah (or however its spelled). Freaky stuff to see it happening in an island rather than in an area thats near a desert. O.o
