The impact of volcanic activity on the surrounding environment and communities includes the potential for ashfall, lava flows, and lahars, which can damage infrastructure, disrupt ecosystems, and pose risks to human health and safety. Additionally, volcanic eruptions can also create new landforms and geothermal resources that can benefit the local economy.

The South Island of New Zealand has no active volcanoes primarily because it lies on the Australian tectonic plate, which does not have the same volcanic activity as the nearby Pacific plate. Most of New Zealand's volcanic activity is concentrated on the North Island, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Australian Plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes. Additionally, the South Island's geological features are more influenced by tectonic uplift and erosion rather than volcanic processes.
