The Canterbury Plains in New Zealand were formed by the erosion of the Southern Alps through a process called fluvial deposition, where rivers carried sediments and deposited them across the land. This geological process has been ongoing for millions of years, resulting in the flat and fertile plains that are characteristic of the region today.
