The Southland Syncline ... Southland consists of three distinct landform regions, which have different geologies. ... The Southland Syncline, a colossal fold in the earth’s surface, is caused by tectonic activity. It reaches from the Tākitimu Mountains to the Catlins coast. The Hokonui Hills, a part of this syncline,

A syncline is perfectly exposed in Ellesmere Island. ... A syncline is a fold structure in which the sides of the fold slope together. Its shape is concave upward. Technically, it is a fold with younger rocks on the inside, so technically this should be called a synform until we can confirm the relative ages of the rocks.
