The volcano’s danger level has been raised from 0 to 1. It last erupted about 1800 years ago.
New Zealand has raised the alert level because of the giant Taupo volcano, which has been the source of the largest eruption on Earth in the past 5,000 years, according to Sky News.
The last eruption of this volcano was about 1800 years ago. He then dumped more than 100 cubic kilometers of material into the atmosphere. An eruption destroyed much of New Zealand’s central North Island in pre-human times. It is currently under Lake Taupo, which was formed by a caldera. About 700 small earthquakes have been found there.
Geological agency GeoNet said the volcano’s danger level has been raised from 0 to 1. The volcano’s alert system is based on six increasing levels of disturbance, but geologists note that eruptions can occur in any level and they may not change continuously due to unknown activity.
As you know, New Zealand is located on the border between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates and experiences significant volcanic and earthquake events.
Recall that the volcano Fagradalsfjall, located 32 kilometers southwest of the capital of Iceland, the city of Reykjavik, has reawakened.
