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.
