Mount Fuji is one of the classic symbols of Japanese spirit and culture.But at the same time, it is also an active volcano, has been observed by the Japan Meteorological Agency for a long time, for no other reason: once it breaks out, it will be extremely powerful. Recently, Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" reported that internal data from the Japanese government stated that according to estimates, if Mount Fuji erupts again, Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Yamanashi Prefecture and other surrounding areas will still receive volcanic ash in stages within two weeks.
In two weeks, volcanic ash will block roads and make it impossible for vehicles to pass.Of the 44.33 million people in Japan's capital area, 60% will be in trouble without supplies, and 36 million people will be affected by power outages..
Because Japan is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, there are many volcanoes in Japan, with a total of more than 200, including more than 80 active volcanoes. The largest BOSS is Mount Fuji!
Tokyo is one of the few capitals in the world that is so close to a large volcano. Once the volcano erupts, it means that it will not escape its doom and will be buried in volcanic ash.
The last major eruption of Mount Fuji dates back to 1707 AD, that is, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in China, the crater erupted with thick smoke reaching a height of 3,000 meters that could reach the stratosphere. It accumulated 4 cm thick volcanic ash in Tokyo, 100 kilometers away, and was accompanied by an 8.6-magnitude Baoyong earthquake.
Moreover, based on the current level of human scientific research, it is still not possible to accurately predict the periodicity of volcanic eruptions. Therefore, we can only minimize losses by maintaining sufficient respect for nature like the sword of Damouris hanging over our heads.
