Sounds interesting. Does anybody know how geologists can tell the stream is a misfit? Speciate 04:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)speciateReply

  • If the valley the stream is occupied has the characteristics of a glacial trough we can be confident that the stream is misfit. It is also possible to find chalk streams that occupy large valleys that were formed under different climatic conditions. I will aim to improve this article in the near future.

Not just the Hinuera Gap

edit

I think it's not just this small section that shows a misfit between the water that is presently flowing in it and the clifs that were cut through hard rocks. All the Hauraki valley width and deposits and possibly the firth of Thames show the ancient action of a huge river flowing there in the past? I see no recent mention of the 'graben theory' for the Hauraki plains. Modern maps don't show faults on its margins, as should logically happen? sorry my bad they DO (but because they are not considered active faults, are missing often): https://researchcommons.waikato.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10289/5316/3.%20Ham%20basin%20soils%20Lowe%20%202010.pdf?sequence=1 stefjourdan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:7000:B067:E200:305A:4D3:CA2E:FE6E (talk) 21:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
