Ex. New Zealand is a long, narrow, mountainous country; its islands are the unsubmerged parts of mountain ridges separated from Australia.

gentle runnels (водотоки с пологими краями) or rocky slopes and adjacent portions of the valley bottom.

In the study area, the angle of slope averaged 35°, with continuous grass cover except on rock outcrops and boulders. Grass height was mostly c. 50 cm, but somewhat shorter, averaging 350 on steep slopes, and with scattered, even shorter patches .

The arctic land is not characterized everywhere by low tundra, for a large part is mountainous. In some regions strongly denuded areas of old mountain chains now form undulating peneplains, while in other sections the country is extremely montainous, consisting of sky-high towering alps with steep slopes and majestic snow-capped peaks and ridges .
