Māori Mythology : Rūaumoko The god of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Seasons

Rūaumoko is the youngest son of Ranginui ( Rangi, the Sky father) and Papatūānuku (Papa, the Earth mother)

After Rangi and Papa were separated by their sons, Rangi cried, and his tears drenched the land. To stop this, the sons decided to turn Papa face down, so Rangi and Papa could no longer see each other's sorrow. Rūaumoko was at his mother's breast when this happened, so he was carried into the world below. his movements below the earth cause earthquakes and volcanoes
