How many active volcanos New Zealand?

Lots depends on how you define a volcano, if you include sea mounts (Volcanoes under the ocean) as well as dormant and extinct ones then the number is quite high. If your just looking at active or at least semi active volcanoes e.g erupted last 1000 years then there are about 18(including Sea mounts). In Auckland alone there are 49 volcanoes some of these are dormant (Rangitoto) while others are extinct. All up theres about 114 volcanoes in NZ however some of these are millions of years old (some older than 16 million years old)
