	Auckland volcanoes
		Volcanic activity from an eruption at a site within the Auckland volcanic field could produce serious problems in the day to day existence for those who live in the Auckland region and for New Zealanders supported by Auckland’s business and industry.
		Knowledge of the type and effects of volcanic activity are based on studies of volcanic deposits in the Auckland area and on analogues of similar eruptions from similar types of volcanoes elsewhere in the world.
		Although volcanic earthquakes rarely exceed an intensity of 8 on the Modified Mercalli Scale (this scale is based on the felt intensity of an earthquake and is different from the Richter scale based on the amount of energy released), they would be destructive if an eruption occurred in or near a built up area.

		The Auckland volcanoes however, are probably the result of a "hot spot" - a concentration of magma where one of the earth’s plates is under tension.
		It is thought that Auckland’s volcanoes first began to appear between 60 000 and 140 000 years ago, starting with the eruptions of Albert Park and the Domain.

	Global Volcanism Program \| Auckland Field \| Summary
		The 140 sq km Auckland volcanic field, which is a late Pleistocene to late Holocene in age, lies at the southern end of the Northland Peninsula and is overlain by New Zealand's largest city.
		The Auckland volcanic field has dominantly produced intraplate alkali basaltic to basantic rocks forming the northernmost of a group of Quaternary volcanic fields of the Auckland Intraplate Province.
		The Rangitoto eruption, about 600 years ago, was the largest of the Auckland volcanic field and created the 6-km-wide Rangitoto Island, which consists of multiple scoria cones up to 260-m high that cap a low shield volcano with a broad apron of lava flows.

	Auckland Region Emergency Management Group - CDEMG - Aucklands Hazards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
		The Auckland region is at risk from a number of natural and technological (man-made) hazards, for example, infrastructure (utility) failure, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
		Although the Auckland region lies in one of the lowest earthquake activity regions of New Zealand, earthquakes of varying magnitude are likely to occur at some stage in the future.
		Auckland’s existing volcanoes are unlikely to become active again, since they all follow a pattern of short eruptions, but the Auckland Volcanic Field itself is young and still active, meaning new volcanoes could appear with little warning.

	Auckland Volcanic Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Auckland volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field on the North Island of New Zealand.
		The field began its volcanic life cycle between 60000 and 140000 years ago, when the first vents erupted at the Domain, Albert Park and Saint Heliers.

		Auckland [1] is the largest metropolitan area in New Zealand, with a population of over a million in the greater urban area.
		Auckland is often known as the "City of Sails" for the large number of yachts that grace the Waitemata Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf.
		Studies have shown that Auckland has one of the most comprehensive roading networks of any city in the world relative to its size, but lack of investment in public transport means the city is largely dependent on the private automobile.

		The Auckland Volcanic Field is almost certainly still active and it is impossible to predict the site of the next eruption.
		The risk of a major earthquake in Auckland region is not as high as some other areas of New Zealand, but we are definitely at risk and the impact on our lives could be truly disastrous.
		In the event of a chemical or gas disaster, storm, earthquake, or volcanic eruption you may be safest staying indoors and listening to the radio or TV for information.

		A characteristic of the AVF is that each event occurs at a new position and may involve multiple eruptions from a number of locations.
		The frequency of events impacting Auckland local and distal has been estimated from ash layers preserved in cores extracted from eruption craters within the Auckland volcanic field.

		Abstract Three basaltic tuff-rings (Pupuke, Motukorea, and Orakei) in the Auckland volcanic field, show a range of eruption mechanisms from dry magmatic to dry and wet phreatomagmatic.
		Pupuke tuff-ring shows an unusual sequence for the Auckland volcanic field from clast-supported facies at its base to matrix-supported facies at the top.
		Matrix-supported facies are interpreted to have been deposited by relatively wet surges generated by explosions involving a high water component at the vent.

		The Auckland region, along with the Coromandel Peninsula which is not formally part of it, is a narrow piece of land deeply indented by the sea.
		The Auckland Volcanic Field has formed progressively over the last 150,000 years approximatively, and is still active by geological standards.
		They belong to two parallel volcanic arcs that were active between approximately 24 and 5 million years ago, caused by the subduction of the Pacific Tectonic Plate underneath the Australian Tectonic Plate.

		New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, sits on an active volcanic field that could produce a new volcano at any time, say researchers.
		“The life of the volcanic field is estimated at one million years so, geologically speaking, the field is still young.
		Auckland tends to produce “single episode” volcanoes – after the eruption the volcanic plumbing seals off and blocks the flow of future magma.”
