Andesite

Andesite is a volcanic rock of intermediate composition.

See Te Ahuahu and Andesite

Basalt

Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

See Te Ahuahu and Basalt

Cinder cone

A cinder cone (or scoria cone) is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. Te Ahuahu and cinder cone are volcanic cones.

See Te Ahuahu and Cinder cone

Dacite

Dacite is a volcanic rock formed by rapid solidification of lava that is high in silica and low in alkali metal oxides.

See Te Ahuahu and Dacite

Flagstaff War

The Flagstaff War, also known as Heke's War, Hōne Heke's Rebellion and the Northern War, was fought between 11 March 1845 and 11 January 1846 in and around the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Te Ahuahu and Flagstaff War are far North District.

Hōne Heke

Hōne Wiremu Heke Pōkai (1807/1808 – 7 August 1850), born Heke Pōkai and later often referred to as Hōne Heke, was a highly influential Māori rangatira (chief) of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe) and a war leader in northern New Zealand; he was affiliated with the Ngati Rahiri, Ngai Tawake, Ngati Tautahi, Te Matarahurahu and Te Uri-o-Hua hapū (subtribes) of Ngāpuhi. Te Ahuahu and Hōne Heke are Flagstaff War.

See Te Ahuahu and Hōne Heke

Ignimbrite

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

See Te Ahuahu and Ignimbrite

Intrusive rock

Intrusive rock is formed when magma penetrates existing rock, crystallizes, and solidifies underground to form intrusions, such as batholiths, dikes, sills, laccoliths, and volcanic necks.

See Te Ahuahu and Intrusive rock

Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field

The recently active basaltic Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in the Northland Region of New Zealand is associated geographically with an older region of extinct volcanism to its north the Wairakau Volcanic Centre, meaning eruptions in this region have occurred over the last 20 million years. Te Ahuahu and Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field are far North District and volcanoes of the Northland Region.

See Te Ahuahu and Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field

Lake Ōmāpere

Lake Ōmāpere is the largest lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand. Te Ahuahu and lake Ōmāpere are far North District.

See Te Ahuahu and Lake Ōmāpere

Monogenetic volcanic field

A monogenetic volcanic field is a type of volcanic field consisting of a group of small monogenetic volcanoes, each of which erupts only once, as opposed to polygenetic volcanoes, which erupt repeatedly over a period of time.

See Te Ahuahu and Monogenetic volcanic field

New Zealand

New Zealand (Aotearoa) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

See Te Ahuahu and New Zealand

Pā

The word pā (often spelled pa in English) can refer to any Māori village or defensive settlement, but often refers to hillforts – fortified settlements with palisades and defensive terraces – and also to fortified villages. Te Ahuahu and pā are pā sites.

See Te Ahuahu and Pā

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.

See Te Ahuahu and Pleistocene

Rhyolite

Rhyolite is the most silica-rich of volcanic rocks.

See Te Ahuahu and Rhyolite

Tarahi (volcano)

Tarahi is a high andesite volcano, in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field in New Zealand. Northwest of Tarahi is a smaller, basaltic scoria cone, Haruru pā, before the higher cone of Te Ahuahu. To its immediate east is Putahi and the location of a famous battle of the Flagstaff War adjacent to Lake Ōmāpere. Te Ahuahu and Tarahi (volcano) are far North District, Northland Region geography stubs and volcanoes of the Northland Region.

See Te Ahuahu and Tarahi (volcano)

Tāmati Wāka Nene

Tāmati Wāka Nene (1780s – 4 August 1871) was a Māori rangatira (chief) of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe) who fought as an ally of the British in the Flagstaff War of 1845–46. Te Ahuahu and Tāmati Wāka Nene are Flagstaff War.
