Moved

[edit]

I've moved the article Tongariro to Mount Tongariro for several reasons:

  1. consistency. "Ngauruhoe" redirects to Mount Ngauruhoe, and "Ruapehu" redirects to Mount Ruapehu. Why should this volcano be treated differently?
  2. "Tongariro" is an ambiguous term, and could apply to the mountain or the national park. "Mount Tongariro" removes that ambiguity.
  3. there were more links to "Mount Tongariro" being redirected to "Tongariro" than there were direct links to "Tongariro".

I don't know how this works and I do realise this is a few years late, but just for clarity Tongariro is not actually a Mount, Tongariro is the whole Massif which includes Mount Ngaruhoe as one of its peaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.211.75 (talk) 11:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Readability

[edit]

Although this page nows looks OK, the pictures on the left are almost useless as the wording on them can't be read, & the detail is not visible, unless full versions are obtained by clicking. I suggest go back to the previous version until a better picture display is ready (I wonder how the size of pictures in a gallery is controlled). GrahamBould 12:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Doom?

[edit]

I heard somewhere that Mount Tongariro was the mountain used for Mount Doom in LOTR. Is there anything to this? 75.35.227.117 17:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there's some truth to that. See Mount Ngauruhoe. -- Avenue 22:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hydro-thermal eruption

[edit]

The jury is still out on the cause as scientists gain more information.

"We know that it wasn't just a hydro-thermal eruption, it wasn't just a shallow explosion, there was definitely magma gas released and that's why we're saying it was a phreatic eruption, driven by volcanic gas pressure."
