	GNS:Volcanoes
		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 largest eruption from Taupo occurred 26,500 years ago producing 300 km³ of ignimbrite, 500 km³ of pumice and ash fall and a unknown volume of material inside the caldera.
		Swarms of small earthquakes that have regularly shaken Taupo in historical times appear to be associated with fault lines and the ongoing subsidence and widening of the region rather than the movement of magma.
