New Zealand has lots actually.....I know Auckland sits on over 40!
We also have the 3 main types of volcanoes...
Hawaiian type eg Rangitoto island
Andesitic eg Mt Egmont/Taranaki
Rhyolitic eg Tawawera, Taupo
some are active eg White island, some are dormant and some are extinct ( eg most south island volcanoes eg Banke penisular, otago penisular)
THere are a couple of good websites that might be of use. |

Just because a volcano has not fired up in the last 5000 years does not mean it is extinct.
NZ probably has about 100 "active" volcanoes including Lake Taupo which over the last 24 000 years has erupted on a regular basis every 2 000 years. It last erupted 2 000 years ago causing the largest eruption the world had known for 25 000 years. Mount Tarawera (which one answerer describes as extinct) was last eruptively active only 120 years ago - don't cross it off the list yet.
Auckland has at least 49 volcanoes within the urban area. The last to erupt was Rangitoto about 500 years ago.
There are undersea volcanoes running parallel to the Kermadec Trench. White Island in the Bay of Plenty is one of these that has surfaced in recent times (geologically). Also Mercury, The Aldermen, Great Barrier Islands et al.
The Waikato has quite a few cones including Kakapuku, Maungatautari, Pirongia and Taupiri.
Nearly all of the North Auckland peninsula is made up of existing and eroded cones, as is the area around Christchurch's Port Hills, Dunedin's Peninsula, Taranaki province, and the area between Nenthorne and Palmerston.
Not for nothing are we called The Shakey Isles. Most of the earthquakes that occur in NZ are the result of volcanic activity. |
