New Zealand islands are formed by volcanic activity, so they are not as old as the closest continents so that they could have some animals that evolved from the prehistoric species (especially the mammals). So when the islands formed, they were far away from the closest continent, Australia, and only the birds and the plants (through their seeds in the winds) managed to get in here and develop unique characteristics.<span />

Explain why the inner core remains a solid even though it is very hot.
Zinaida [17]
The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials - like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't "melt" very easily, so they stay solid. Also, pressure due to the weight of the mantle and crust, atoms are forced together as solid.
