Te Anga

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato Region of New Zealand's North Island. [1]

Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli, [2] but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution. [3]

The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century. [3]

The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures. [4]

Education

Piri Piri School is a co-educational state primary school, [5] with a roll of 17 as of March 2019. [6] [7]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
