The Auckland Volcanic Field, which is a cluster of 52 volcanoes, is located in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres in the Pacific region of Oceania. It is in the Northern part of the Northern Island of the country, New Zealand. It spreads across suburbs like Takapuna, Devonport, Milford and the Hauraki Gulf.
The process that these volcanoes are formed by is hot spotting, which is when rock (under the Earth's Crust) is melted by extra heat in the mantle (underneath the Earth's Crust) and separates from surrounding rock. The rock, which has transformed into basalt magma (which has a low viscosity and flows easily), then rises to the Earth's Surface at an average rate of 5km/hour, forming an eruption and volcano or, in this case, volcanoes.
The Auckland Volcanic Field have had lots of positive and negative impacts on peoples lives, like improving the economy of the city through tourism (our volcanoes also make Auckland/New Zealand an interesting place to come to, encouraging people - globally - to come visit the beautiful and extraordinary country). The change in the environment that formed the volcanoes (and improves the economy) helps the government pay for things like health-care and benefits, which keep locals alive and living and happier, improving the social lives of locals etc. The Volcanic Range also supplies fertile land for farm owners, which provide the locals (and foreign countries Auckland export to) with food so they can live for longer. Most volcanoes in the Auckland Region house military/army bunkers and artillery emplacements, which would have shielded New Zealands' troops from enemies in World Wars One and Two. These effects are all long-term and positive. However, there is also the threat of another Hot Spot being formed in Auckland and/or the volcanoes we currently have may erupt again. Of course, this would the Auckland Region massively because they have based our suburbs around these beautiful but terrifying natural disasters. The Auckland Region has not taken the It will lead to the death of millions and the destruction of property and belongings. This will render people homeless, jobless, penniless, and depressed by the loss of family and friends. These effects may be short-term, but people will not easily forget these threats.
