Erosion and Sedimentation of Taranaki Volcano

Taranaki Volcano stands in isolation above its own ring plain on the western side of New Zealand's North Island. It is a stratovolcano, made of layers of hard lava with soft ash sandwiched between them. This makes for a very unstable mountain and occasionally leads to massive collapses of the volcano.

    Love it, bro! Your excitement shines through. I know bugger-all about geology - despite growing up on/in an ancient cluster of volcanoes (Dunedin). I have been to Taranaki, and up the road above tree-level, and wow! Everything there is at an epic scale. Even at a glance I could see the sheer enormity of the events that shaped those slopes. But down here at the fringes, another story plays out. I met a man a long time ago - a survivor of a famous and deadly lahar flow (he was on a train at the time), and so I certainly understand the scale of the things. Millions of them must have come off Taranaki over the years - and your presentation really captures the power and scale of those events. Keep it up!

    When I was a lad in the Fifties I had a poster advertising I think NAC. I found the aerial shot of Taranaki fascinating. It was the wonderful symmetry of the natural cone, augmented by the artificial circular boundary between the farmland and the natural forest, and between the cone and the plain surrounding it. Little did I know that, as explained so well here, the plain is mostly the mountain as well Thanks, from an old Aucklander who has only visited the area once in a lifetime.

The north of Ireland has an abundance of sand and gravel. Our most prominent geological features are perfect U shaped glacial coastal valleys. Of course our most famous is the giant’s causeway. I do know that Ireland has one of the most diverse and different types of rock of any country in Europe. New zealand has far more interesting geological features than I realised.

We got to the snow line, & the alpine growth - the forest, on its flanks, is quite impressive, and so well 'watered', due to the exposed situation of the mountain. Does the material, ejected from Mt Taranaki, have a high iron content, ? - it may go some way to explaining the black sand beaches, in the region

Due to this, the wood has been subjected into an (not totally) anoxic environment that prevented it from being decomposed.

    @charlesward81962 жыл бұрын

    I don’t want to nit-pick, but there seems to be a little confusion of vocabulary here, calling the hummocky terrain the result of a “lahar” or volcanic mudflow. “Hummocks” usually describe discrete pieces of a collapsed volcanic edifice that were transported like rafted islands in the midst of a larger avalanche and come to rest largely intact. “Lahars” are channelized flows of poorly sorted sediments mixed with water to move more like wet concrete. When Mt. St. Helens erupted in the USA in 1980 there were numerous processes occurring simultaneously: The over-steepened cone collapsed in a massive earthquake triggered landslide, the exposed magma body detonated in a huge lateral blast producing a Plinian column and pyroclastic flows, and melting glacial ice mixed with loose new and old material for form lahars in the existing river channels that traveled 10’s of kilometers to the Columbia River. Taranaki must have acted similarly producing a variety of deposits that just can’t be described in adequate detail in a 10-minute video. This is a great video taking the viewer all the way from the mountain to volcanic deposits at tidewater. Taranaki has re-built itself into a beautiful mountain, but the deposits in the ring plain tell us that in the future it will erupt again, and probably experience a devastating collapse again producing the whole panoply of volcanic collapse landforms and much human misery. Best to be in Sydney when that happens.

    Rhyolite is usually a whitish grey colour as it is largely silica. These boulders are mainly andesite lava

    An active volcano is not called dormant because its not erupting now. Please don't say its dormant.

    Much discussion about the name. My p.o.v. on that was long that it was either "Taranaki" or "Mt Egmont" not "Mt Taranaki" because "tara" means "peak" or summit. If that was the case then it makes no sense to name the province "taranaki" because only the peak is the peak and it is likewise redundant to call it "Mount Taranaki (mount - mountnaki). And in any case why mix languages in a name? If going for a Maori name then call it Maunga Taranaki. Better yet call it Pukehaupapa (which some say was the original Maori name, meaning "ice hill"). I therefore stuck with "Mt Egmont" even though I don't know or care who Egmont was and no doubt it would be possible to find something that gentleman said or wrote that would now be blocked by Twitter. However those who favour Pukehaupapa also claim that "Taranaki" is also a name after a person, just like "Egmont", being named by one Rua Taranaki after his son Tahurangi climbed it. In that case "Tahurangi" would seem a better name. In the meantime my recommendation is that locals refer to it as "the mountain".

    Don't forget that it is also called Mt. Egmont by the great navigator James Cook.... please acknowledge that 200 year tradition that is not too different in time to the 7-800 year tradition by the peoples who first settled Taranaki.... both of which are miniscule compared to the geological age of the mountain itself - which can be measured in millions of years.
