Since the eruption of the Tonga volcano, causing the people of Tonga to fall into "contemplation", followed by another piece of news, according to Korean media: the number of Spitfire Vents on Mount Fuji has increased by nearly 6 times, the earthquake has continued to "move", and experts have said that there will be a possibility of eruption at any time. What's going on?

Mt. Fuji, which I think everyone has heard of, is located in the south-central part of the Japanese island of Honshu, about 80 kilometers from Tokyo. This Mt. Fuji is very sacred in the hearts of the Japanese, and around the foothills of Mt. Fuji, he has five freshwater lakes, collectively known as the "Fuji Five Lakes". And Mt. Fuji, as an active volcano, dates back about 10,000 years ago, because of the movement of the earth's crust caused the island to cause a fierce impact, and then formed a mountain range, followed by a volcano.

Mt. Fuji forms a volcanic mass, partly because of the subduction of the Pacific Plate and partly because of the tension between the Philippine Sea Plate and the area around Mount Fuji. This leads to geological activity, triggering crack eruptions.

So the question is, for frequent earthquakes, does it mean that the eruption of Mount Fuji is a precursor?

We all know that in 2021, there were 4 consecutive earthquakes in Japan in 7 hours. So let's look at what happened to him before the eruption. In fact, before the eruption of the volcano, the movement of underground magma will lead to some changes in the terrain on the ground, and this change is not easy to be found. But for Mt. Fuji, he would make people in the neighborhood feel a similar change.

Although Mt. Fuji is an active volcano, its top is like a snowy mountain. If Mt. Fuji is about to erupt, it means that the snow covered by Mt. Fuji will melt rapidly. There should be a large area of "smoke", at this time we know that the snow melts, the volcano will have a warning of eruption.

At that time, there were four earthquakes in Mount Fuji, which caused extreme panic among the Japanese people at that time. Through the panic and uneasiness that the Japanese people continue to show, we can deeply feel Japan's fear of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Will Mount Fuji erupt again in the near future?

According to Korean media reports: The number of spitfire vents in Mount Fuji in Japan has increased from 44 to nearly 300. And even Japanese experts say that Mt. Fuji has been silent for hundreds of years, and now its internal pressure has reached 1.6 megapascals. When the eruption is not a strange image. In fact, whether it is the eruption of Mt. Fuji in the past or the eruption of Mt. Fuji in the present, it has become a point of special concern for people.

From the current point of view, the biggest impact of the Mt. Fuji eruption is local, and if for us in China, once the Mt. Fuji fire erupts, it will endanger a small part of our country, because there are a lot of pollutants, especially tsunamis. For example, Mt. Fuji is very populated, and once a volcanic eruption occurs, it is undoubtedly the people around Mt. Fuji who are undoubtedly the most serious.

It is conceivable that if there is a big eruption on Mt. Fuji, then the magma and volcanic ash he erupts will cause huge losses, and it is estimated that the loss will be greater than 20 billion US dollars.

Korean media talked to Japanese experts about Mt. Fuji

South Korean media said that the eruption of Mt. Fuji does not stop in an instant, it will take at least two hours, and the objects it erupts will injure people within 10 kilometers in a large area, and even endanger people and buildings 10 kilometers away. A professor at Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan also said that there was an outbreak 300 years ago that endangered Tokyo, Japan, and even if you look up, you can see a "fiery red" picture.

This means that the internal activity of Mt. Fuji is particularly intense now. Now that the Japanese have begun to prepare for evacuation, they will be best protected if there is an eruption. And it will be accompanied by earthquakes, we all know that the most recent earthquake occurred in December 2021, and its magnitude reached 4.9. It is not difficult to imagine that Mt. Fuji has now begun to be at a critical point, not only that, but even people's jobs have been reduced for a time, and they may face unemployment.
