Ōkataina Caldera

Ōkataina Caldera (Ōkataina Volcanic Centre, also spelled Okataina) is a volcanic caldera and its associated volcanoes located in Taupō Volcanic Zone of New Zealand's North Island. Rotoiti Caldera and Ōkataina Caldera are calderas of New Zealand, Holocene calderas, Okataina Volcanic Centre, Pleistocene calderas, Taupō Volcanic Zone, VEI-7 volcanoes and volcanoes of the Bay of Plenty Region.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Ōkataina Caldera

Bathymetry

Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors (seabed topography), lake floors, or river floors.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Bathymetry

Bay of Plenty

The Bay of Plenty (Te Moana-a-Toi) is a large bight along the northern coast of New Zealand's North Island.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Bay of Plenty

Breca the Bronding

Breca (sometimes spelled Breoca or Brecca) was a Bronding who, according to the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, was Beowulf's childhood friend.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Breca the Bronding

Caldera

A caldera is a large cauldron-like hollow that forms shortly after the emptying of a magma chamber in a volcanic eruption.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Caldera

Haroharo Caldera

The Haroharo Caldera (Haroharo volcanic complex) is a postulated volcanic feature in Taupō Volcanic Zone of the North Island, New Zealand within the larger and older Ōkataina Caldera. Rotoiti Caldera and Haroharo Caldera are calderas of New Zealand, Holocene calderas, Okataina Volcanic Centre and Taupō Volcanic Zone.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Haroharo Caldera

Ignimbrite

Ignimbrite is a type of volcanic rock, consisting of hardened tuff.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Ignimbrite

Lake Rotoiti (Bay of Plenty)

Lake Rotoiti is a lake in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. Rotoiti Caldera and lake Rotoiti (Bay of Plenty) are Okataina Volcanic Centre.

List of Quaternary volcanic eruptions

This article is a list of historical volcanic eruptions of approximately magnitude 6 or more on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) or equivalent sulfur dioxide emission during the Holocene, and Pleistocene eruptions of the Decade Volcanoes (Avachinsky–Koryaksky, Kamchatka; Colima, Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt; Mount Etna, Sicily; Galeras, Andes, Northern Volcanic Zone; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; Mount Merapi, Central Java; Mount Nyiragongo, East African Rift; Mount Rainier, Washington; Sakurajima, Kagoshima Prefecture; Santamaria/ Santiaguito, Central America Volcanic Arc; Santorini, Cyclades; Taal Volcano, Luzon Volcanic Arc; Teide, Canary Islands; Ulawun, New Britain; Mount Unzen, Nagasaki Prefecture; Mount Vesuvius, Naples); Campania, Italy; South Aegean Volcanic Arc; Laguna de Bay, Luzon Volcanic Arc; Mount Pinatubo, Luzon Volcanic Arc; Toba, Sunda Arc; Mount Meager massif, Garibaldi Volcanic Belt; Yellowstone hotspot, Wyoming; and Taupō Volcanic Zone, greater than VEI 4.

North Island

The North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui, 'the fish of Māui', officially North Island or Te Ika-a-Māui or historically New Ulster) is one of the two main islands of New Zealand, separated from the larger but less populous South Island by Cook Strait.

Puhipuhi Embayment

The Puhipuhi Embayment (also Puhipuhi Basin) is a volcanic feature in Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand associated with the collapse of the Ōkataina Caldera wall to its west. Rotoiti Caldera and Puhipuhi Embayment are calderas of New Zealand, Okataina Volcanic Centre and Taupō Volcanic Zone.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Puhipuhi Embayment

Stratigraphy

Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification).

See Rotoiti Caldera and Stratigraphy

Taupō Rift

The Taupō Rift is the seismically active rift valley containing the Taupō Volcanic Zone, central North Island of New Zealand. Rotoiti Caldera and Taupō Rift are Taupō Volcanic Zone.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Taupō Rift

Taupō Volcanic Zone

The Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is a volcanic area in the North Island of New Zealand.

See Rotoiti Caldera and Taupō Volcanic Zone

Tephra

Tephra is fragmental material produced by a volcanic eruption regardless of composition, fragment size, or emplacement mechanism.
