| Description | New geological mapping of the Mount Tongariro massif indicates that it is a multiple volcano, the cones of its southern portion, apart from Mount Ngauruhoe, being substantially older than those of its northern portion where much of the latest activity has occurred. Evidence favouring the development of a caldera is lacking; evidence against such a caldera is strong. Large late Pleistocene moraines have been recognised at the mouths of three of the southern valleys. Welded agglomerate is widespread. The conspicuous flat top of North Crater has apparently developed by ponding of lava within a continuous ring of welded agglomerate and has been modified by a local explosion in the north-western part of the crater. |
