 Auckland volcanoes
The volcanoes in the central North Island and Taranaki are produced by the eruption of viscous andesite and rhyolite magmas generated at the active boundary between the Pacific plate to the east and the Australian plate to the west.
At present Auckland has a small network of seismometers deployed to detect small earth tremors associated with the movement of magma at depth and there are plans to expand this into a comprehensive eruption warning facility.
A general eruptive sequence for Auckland’s volcanoes is considered to be: initial explosions clearing the vent of water-saturated material (phreatomagmatic stage), fire-fountaining (Hawaiian to Strombolian) and finally the effusion of lava flows.
