What is the biggest recorded volcanic eruption in new zealand?
The island of New Zealand with the most active volcanoes is the North Island. There are no active volcanoes on the South Island, but there are extinct volcanoes there.There are four volcanic regions in the North Island:1. Auckland, Whangarei and the Bay of Islands are in the volcanic field of Northland where small eruptions forming volcanoes may occur every thousand years or so. Each volcano formed in this way erupts once only. The general area of each of these fields is active rather than a specific volcano.2. Mt Taranaki/Egmont is a volcano on the west coast of New Zealand3. The Taupo volcanic region in the North Island has seven volcanoes on the North Island, plus White Island off the coast in the Bay of Plenty.Mayor Island is another volcano in the Bay of Plenty area.There are five volcanoes above sea level in the Kermadec Islands, and several submarine volcanoes.
Where can a list of volcanoes in New Zealand be found?
For active volcanoes, we have Ngauruhoe, Tongariro, and Ruapehu in the centre of the North Island. Taranaki is dormant, not extinct. Some volcanoes in the Rotorua area have had recent eruptions. White Island and Mayor Island are either active or dormant. The Kermadec volcano/es are definitely active, as is Erebus. Otherwise there are hundreds of dormant volcanoes. The Auckland Volcanic field has produced about 50 vents in the last 250 000 years. The last of these (Rangitoto) about 600 years ago. All the South island volcanoes are extinct.
