When was the largest volcanic eruption in New Zealand history?

There have been a couple of VEI 8 (Volcanic Explosive Index) volcanic events in NZ in history.

Taupo, about 26 500 years ago erupted about 1000 cubic km of ash and debris.

Whakamaru, in the same Taupo Volcanic field, erupted about 345 000 years ago and produced between 1200 and 2000 cubic km of material.

In more recent times, cAD176, there was a large eruption from Taupo, and the resulting red skies are recorded in Roman and Chinese writings. About 30km3 was erupted, mainly ash.

What is a long and narrow ocean inlet that reaches far inland and often seen in Norway or New Zealand?

This could be a fjord however the exact definition of such is rather complex and there are only four locations in the world where true fjords are found: Norway, Greenland, British Columbia and New Zealand. Other possibilities could include: an inudated river, a narrow bay, a long wide ocean inlet.

Do people live on the new planet?

As of now, no humans have been confirmed to be living on any new planet outside of Earth. The search for habitable planets and potential colonization is an ongoing area of research and exploration in the field of astronomy and space exploration.

What is the time difference between New Zealand and Norfolk Island?

New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) is a half hour ahead of Norfolk Island Time (UTC+11:30). During Daylight Saving Time, from the last Sun. of Sep. to the 1st Sun. of April, the time difference is 1.5 hours.

What is the biggest recorded volcanic eruption in new zealand?

The biggest recorded volcanic eruption in New Zealand was the eruption of Taupo volcanic center about 26,500 years ago. This eruption was categorized as a VEI-8, which is the highest on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. It deposited a significant amount of volcanic material across the central North Island of New Zealand.

What time does it get dark in New Zealand in October?

It depends on if it is before or after Labour weekend, due to clocks being put forward an hour over Labour weekend for the start of daylight savings.

But generally before Daylight savings it starts getting dark around 6.30pm - 7pm, after Labour weekend that would shift to 7.30pm - 8pm

Where is the best place to live in New Zealand climatically speaking?

Given climate as the determinant, and assuming that infers not too many extreme events, perhaps Nelson, or its geographically close region Horowhenua may fit your needs.

But climate is a fairly narrow parameter. There are many better regions for growing fruit of one sort or another, and various recreation activities also have climate parameters.

And some will aver that a challenging climate is good for personal development.

Which one of the three mountains in central north island that starts with T?

The mountain in the central North Island that starts with T is Mount Tongariro.

How will New Zealand be affected by the enhanced greenhouse effect?

The initial effect of a Green House Effect would be to add much water vapour to the Atmosphere. This would result in greater precipitation, and the extra energy in the water vapour (latent heat of evaporation) will add to cyclonic style events.

An extreme event would be a rise in Sea Level, and a modest rise in this would endanger many low-lying railways and roads. Coastal settlements may also be affected.

Why are there so many geysers in new zealand?

Well, there are not so many. In 2004 there were apparently 58 geysers in NZ. They are uncommon objects anywhere in the world - perhaps only 1000 worldwide.

Geysers are associated with volcanic activity, and the Taupo Volcanic Zone (which includes Rotorua) is the most important in NZ.

Hot pools, geysers, fumaroles etc are produced by underlying volcanic activity.

Some of the geysers and hot spring activity has been lost by the drowning due to hydro-electric projects, and some has been lost by over-exploitation by domestic withdrawal for house heating.

The hot springs in the South Island, (none of which are associated with geysers) are all associated with faults in the ground, and are thought to be the result of the land rising through tectonic process, faster than it is cooling. All of these are East of the Alpine Fault.

What is 2PM Pacific Standard time in New Zealand?

Tonga is UT +13 hours, and New Zealand is UT + 12 hours. And New Zealand has daylight savings of 1 hour, whereas Tonga does not.

But the Chatham Islands are UT +12.45, so if that was the part of New Zealand you were in, that would matter.

You now have plenty of information for your Question.

Why are there so many volcano's in New Zealand?

New Zealand lies across two tectonic plates, the Pacific and the Indo-Australian. This is a convergent boundary, where the Pacific Plate dives under the I-A one. As the ocean floor descends into the earth, it heats up and is melted. The molten portions sometimes force their way to the surface as a volcano. [Ignoring Fiordland for the moment]

In addition to the volcanoes on the main islands, there are a couple of active volcanoes, just offshore, White Island and Mayor Island.

In New Zealand's wider territories, are included Raoul Island, a quite active volcano, and in the Ross Dependency in the Antarctic is Antarctica's only active volcano, Mt Erebus.

In the North Island are Ruapehu, Tongariro, Ngaruahoe, and Taranaki, all considered to be active, though Taranaki may be dormant. Time will tell.

The same subduction process are responsible for a number of hot springs and geothermal areas. Some of the geothermal areas have their steam used for electric power generation.

In the South island are a number of dormant, or more probably extinct, volcanoes.

Is New Zealand a part of England?

No, New Zealand is not a part of England. New Zealand is an independent country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, while England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom, located in Northwestern Europe.

What is the difference between a native New Zealand tree and a native New Zealand shrub?

The main difference between a native New Zealand tree and a shrub is their size and growth habit. Trees are typically larger, taller, and have a single main trunk, while shrubs are smaller, bushier, and often have multiple stems originating from the base. In New Zealand, examples of native trees include the kauri and pohutukawa, while native shrubs include manuka and kanuka.

How do active volcanoes located on islands create more land area on these islands?

Active volcanoes on islands create more land area through the deposition of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. When volcanoes erupt, the flowing lava solidifies and cools, forming new land masses on the island. Over time, repeated eruptions can contribute to the growth and expansion of the island.

What best describes the climate of new zealand?

It depends entirely on the time of year and the part of New Zealand you are in. Because New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere it's seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere thus it's summer is the North's winter and vice versa. According to NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research ) " ... New Zealand's climate is complex and varies from warm subtropical in the far north to cool temperate climates in the far south, with severe alpine conditions in the mountainous areas. Mountain chains extending the length of New Zealand provide a barrier for the prevailing westerly winds, dividing the country into dramatically different climate regions. The West Coast of the South Island is the wettest area of New Zealand, whereas the area to the east of the mountains, just over 100 km away, is the driest. Most areas of New Zealand have between 600 and 1600 mm of rainfall, spread throughout the year with a dry period during the summer. Over the northern and central areas of New Zealand more rainfall falls in winter than in summer, whereas for much of the southern part of New Zealand, winter is the season of least rainfall. Mean annual temperatures range from 10°C in the south to 16°C in the north of New Zealand. The coldest month is usually July and the warmest month is usually January or February. In New Zealand generally there are relatively small variations between summer and winter temperatures, although inland and to the east of the ranges the variation is greater (up to 14°C). Temperatures also drop about 0.7°C for every 100 m of altitude. Sunshine hours are relatively high in areas that are sheltered from the west and most of New Zealand would have at least 2000 hours annually. The midday summer solar radiation index (UVI) is often very high in most places and can be extreme in northern New Zealand and in mountainous areas. Autumn and spring UVI values can be high in most areas. Most snow in New Zealand falls in the mountain areas. Snow rarely falls in the coastal areas of the North Island and west of the South Island, although the east and south of the South Island may experience some snow in winter. Frosts can occur anywhere in New Zealand and usually form on cold nights with clear skies and little wind. . . "
