Stage 1: Formation
50 Million-20,000 Years Before Present
The land continued to be deformed and fold mountains, such as the Kaimanawa Ranges, were created. The folding created weaknesses and faultlines to form. 2 major faults to the East and West of the TVC caused a block to be downfaulted, creating the Taupo Graben
The Australian and Pacific tectonic plates collided, causing a subduction zone and forcing NZ to be uplifted from the ocean
The subduction zone also lead to volcanism, with magma forming below the TVC approx.. 2 million YBP. This volcanism started to fill up the newly-created Graben
NZ was originally completely submerged and part of the sea floor. Sediment that was laid on the sea floor at that time formed the sedimentary rock Greywacke which is commonly found in NZ today
Early eruption history in the TVC included:
 Hauhungatahi | 300,000 YPB

Tongariro | 300,000 YPB

Proto-Ngaruhoe | 260,000 YPB

Ruapehu | 250,000 YPB

Pukeonake | 20,000 YPB
