Structural control and origin of volcanism in the Taupo volcanic zone, New Zealand
@article{Cole1990StructuralCA, title={Structural control and origin of volcanism in the Taupo volcanic zone, New Zealand}, author={Jim Cole}, journal={Bulletin of Volcanology}, year={1990}, volume={52}, pages={445-459} }
Taupor volcanic zone (TVZ) is the currently active volcanic arc and back-arc basin of the Taupo-Hikurangi arc-trench system, North Island, New Zealand. The volcanic arc is best developed at the southern (Tongariro volcanic centre) end of the TVZ, while on the eastern side of the TVZ it is represented mainly by dacite volcanoes, and in the Bay of Plenty andesite/dacite volcanoes occur on either side of the Whakatane graben. The back-arc basin is best developed in the central part of the TVZ and…
