In this video, we delve into the intriguing geological mysteries of the Port Phillip Sunklands and the Melbourne Rift Zone in Australia. We explore the formation and impact of the Tasman Rift, which shaped the Gippsland Basin and contributed to the creation of New Zealand. We discuss the hypothesis of the Tasman Rift's shutdown coinciding with the beginning of subduction events in New Zealand, leading to significant changes in Victoria's crust. We also examine the age progression of lava flows across the region, suggesting a continual stretching of the land. The video further explores the potential implications if the rift zone is still active and the complex geology of Victoria, a land of new discoveries. Join us as we unravel how New Zealand might be pulling Victoria apart.
