Inanahi ra, I te wenerei, i haere ahau ki te Kura Takawaenga o Kaikohe for Hoki Hangarau. We had to tunu aporo me te banoffee porohita.

This is my Tech for week 3. We cooked Turkish Baklava. And this is how to make Baklava. I hope you enjoy.

This is my report writing about White Island, or Whakaari. In my report writing I have written about some of the events that have happened over the years. I have highlighted my paragraphs to show the topic sentence, main idea and supporting detail. I hope you enjoy my report writing.

White Island

New Zealand's most active volcano, White Island, was in a state of frequent eruption from 1976 to 2000.

Sitting 48 km offshore, White Island is New Zealand’s most active cone volcano which has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years. About 70 percent of the volcano is under the sea, making this massive volcanic structure the largest in New Zealand.

A sulphur mining venture began on the island in 1885. This was stopped suddenly in 1914 when part of the crater wall collapsed and a landslide destroyed the sulphur mine and miners' village. Twelve lives were lost. Whakaari's eruptions have produced both lava flows and explosive eruptions of ash. It is part of the Taupo Volcanic ZoneAt most times the volcanic activity is limited to steaming fumaroles and boiling mud.

Although privately owned, White Island became a private scenic reserve in 1953, and daily tours allowed more than 10,000 people to visit White Island every year. GeoNet monitors volcanic activity and visits the island around 10 times a year.

When was the most recent eruption?

The most recent eruption started in August 2012 with an explosive eruption on the 5th August, then a period of ash emissions. This was followed by heating in the Crater Lake and variable phreatic activity in early 2013 which removed the lake. By June the lake was re-established. A further explosive eruption followed on 20 August and again on 11 October 2013.

When and where were the previous eruptions?

White Island was in an eruption state from December 1975 to September 2000, the longest historic eruption episode. This eruption episode developed many collapsed and explosion craters. For long periods active vents in these craters spat out volcanic ash. The last major eruption of this episode was in  late July 2000 and covered the crater floor area in scoria, also displacing a crater lake and forming a new explosion crater 150 m across.

White Island will probably be New Zealand's most active volcano for years to come, but let's hope that no more accidents will occur on this amazing tourist attraction…
