Mount Ruapehu is part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Ruapehu first erupted about 250 000 years ago, and erupts about every 50 years on a rough average.

Different volcanoes have a different chemical composition and there are clever techniques to measure the date of each eruption. These are radio-isotope dating techniques.

Taupo's last eruption was around AD 200 +/-. The ice core dating from Iceland give a different date to the historic records from Rome and China (red skies).

It has erupted about 28 times in the last 27 000 years.
