Abstract The Taupo Volcanic Zone extends for approximately 300 km north-eastwards across the central North Island, New Zealand. Within the zone are five volcanic centres: Tongariro, which includes over 95% andesites; Taupo, Maroa, and Okataina, rhyolitic centres, each probably associated with multiple caldera collapse; and Rotorua, a simple collapse structure, sited on the western side of Taupo Volcanic Zone. The lavas of the Taupo Volcanic Zone are all calc-alkaline. Two types of basalt occur; a low-alumina basalt within the Tongariro Volcanic Centre and a high-alumina basalt in the Rotorua-Taupo area. Andesites can be divided into “normal” (57–63% Si02) and low-Si (53–57% Si02) types. Pyroxene low-Si andesites probably represent cumulate fractions of the “normal” andesite, but olivine low-Si andesite may be derived from a separate younger magma. Two types of dacite can also be distinguished. Bay of Plenty lavas show a complete gradation from dacite to andesite, and lavas from the Rotorua-Taupo region sh...
