		Taupo is not a large mountain because the eruptions have been so explosive that all material has been deposited far from the vent and subsequent collapse of the ground has formed a caldera (a collapsed volcano).
		The Oruanui eruption is thought to have formed the caldera now filled by Lake Taupo, but this large eruption also shows the influence of lake water in its fine grain size and abundant evidence for heavy rain during the eruption.
		However the lake eventually breached the vent and several stages of the eruption were dominated by mixing of the magma and lake water, with fine ash being formed.

		Scientists agree that Lake Taupo is under threat from increasing nitrogen leaching from land uses in the catchment.
		Nitrogen feeds the growth of tiny free-floating algae which impact on the Lake’s health and water clarity — and therefore the Trust is aiming to reduce this impact by achieving a 20 per cent reduction in nitrogen entering the Lake from both rural and urban sources.
		This fund will be used to encourage and assist land-use change, and to purchase land in the Lake Taupo catchment, as well as other initiatives to assist landowners to reduce the nitrogen impact of their activities on the Lake.
