Natural Hazards – Our Supervolcano

Listed by: CORE Education

Full details  

You probably think of Taupō as a lake rather than a volcano. That's because 25,500 years ago the supervolcano erupted from a massive pancake of magma about 5km below the ground surface. When most of the magma had been erupted, the ground overhead couldn't be supported anymore and collapsed – leaving a massive depression in the middle of the North Island. The depression slowly filled with water, becoming Lake Taupō.

During this field trip you will join geologists who are trying to understand how our supervolcano works and what we need to do to prepare for an eruption.
