| Abstract;The landforms of the Pacific-rim countries such as New Zealand and Japan are especially dynamic and sensitive to the erosion; moreover, they are natural and have the features of being induced by humans.And the deposited sediments are deeply related to formation and conservation of the landforms.The deposits are preserved in lakes, flood plains, river mouths, and marine bottoms; these remain as a time frame which is much longer than the human record.And the deposited sediments have a possibility of retaining the geological long-term records on the climates and the landform formation corresponding to changes in the land use.In certain cases, individual events such as storms, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes can also be recorded.The sediments, the ages of which are proven, can provide the information on the timing, magnitude, frequency, and periodicity of the events.The example of New Zealand was presented concerning the record of the old-aged sediments and the interpretation of those. |
