Description
"Putauaki (Māori: Pūtauaki; also known in English as Mount Edgecumbe) is a dacite volcanic cone in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand. Located 50 km (31 mi) east of Rotorua and three kilometres east of Kawerau, it is the easternmost vent of the Taupo Volcanic Zone adjacent to the Ōkataina volcanic centre. The mountain rises to 821 m (2,694 ft) above sea level" "The last substantial volcanic eruption occurred at 540 ± 130 BCE, producing a cubic kilometre of lava. There was a previous eruption dated to 1380 ± 50 BCE. The volcano produced the Edgecumbe Formation which are pyroxene-bearing andesite to dacite lava flows, domes and minor pyroclastic tephra."
