Taranaki andesite (red shading) in centre of map. The surrounding debris and lahar fields are not shown although they include the green forested area on the map that surround Mount Taranaki and the Pouakai Range and have reached the sea in all directions on the Taranaki peninsula except where blocked by the Pouakai Range. To its north are the older andesitic volcanoes of Pouakai and Kaitake. Clicking on the map enlarges it, and enables panning and mouseover of volcano name/wikilink and ages before present. Key for the volcanics that are shown with panning is: basalt (shades of brown/orange), monogenetic basalts,
undifferentiated basalts of the Tangihua Complex in Northland Allochthon,
arc basalts, arc ring basalts,
dacite,
andesite (shades of red), basaltic andesite,
rhyolite, (ignimbrite is lighter shades of violet),
and plutonic. White shading is selected caldera features.
Mount Taranaki (Māori: Taranaki Maunga) (also called Mt Egmont) is a dormant stratovolcano in the Taranaki region on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.[4][5] At 2,518 metres (8,261 ft), it is the second highest mountain in the North Island, after Mount Ruapehu. It has a secondary cone, Fanthams Peak (Māori: Panitahi), 1,966 metres (6,450 ft), on its south side.[6]
