In terms of geographical conditions, Japan is one of the countries with more disasters in the world. Most of the world's volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc. occur every year, and they occur in the Japanese region.
Japan is mainly located in the Demise Boundary of the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate, which is what we call the Pacific Ring Volcanic Seismic Zone area, which is part of the western Pacific Island Arc-Coast Mountains-Trench combination, so the volcano and seismic activity are frequent, which also leads to relatively many natural disasters in Japan.
According to statistics, more than 20% of all earthquakes above the Richter scale in the world occur in Japan, so it is indeed more terrifying. In 2022, many people in Japan expressed concern about the imminent eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan after the eruption of the Tonga volcano.
No, there is another phenomenon in Japan that many people are puzzled, that is, there is a huge "crack" in Japan's well-known snowy mountains, which has once again aroused everyone's concern about the eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan. Let's take a look.
Indeed, after the eruption of the Tonga volcano, scientists have also analyzed that it is the volcanic eruption caused by changes in the earth's interior, so every move of Mt. Fuji in Japan may receive everyone's attention, and this hokkaido has indeed made many people think that the geological activities in Japan will not enter a new active era.
In 2022, the South Korean media published a study pointing out that Mt. Fuji in Japan did find that there was a great room for change through monitoring data. A large-scale eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan would have a disastrous impact on Japan, and possibly even globally.
Mt. Fuji in Japan is a "supervolcano" that will change Japan's destiny, and is located in the focus area of Japan's three major plates, as long as any one of the points of activity, there may be an eruption, the three major plates are: the Amur Plate, the Okhotsk Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.
At the same time, the volcano itself is located at the junction of the Tohoku Island Arc, the Southwest Island Arc and the Izu-Ogasawara Arc in Japan, so it is a "energy release point" under the common activity of all major plates, and it is an active central area of subduction zones or plates.
Since the 8th century AD, Japan's supervolcano Mt. Fuji has erupted 17 times, the most recent eruption was in 1707, so many researchers have long pointed out that Mt. Fuji in Japan may erupt on a large scale, and the anomaly found in 2022 is that the number of craters of Mt. Fuji in Japan has increased by nearly 6 times, which may be a precursor to the release of volcanic energy.
This, coupled with the huge "crack" in Japan's well-known snow-capped mountains, is it a precursor to the eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan?
First of all, if the Mt. Fuji supervolcano in Japan does erupt, it will most likely bring about a global disaster. According to South Korean media, if Mt. Fuji erupts, at least 2 hours, lava can flood a village 10 kilometers away.
Therefore, once it appears, it may have an immediate impact on Japan. At the same time, volcanic ash entering the sky above the earth may have a knock-on effect, triggering greater natural disasters.
Moreover, a professor at Aoyama University in Japan pointed out that when Mt. Fuji erupted 300 years ago, the volcanic ash reached the sky over Tokyo 2 hours later, causing huge economic losses.
If it erupts on a large scale again, it may once again affect tens of millions of people in Japan's tokyo metropolitan area, and at the same time lead to power and transportation disruptions, etc., causing astronomical losses to Japan. So does it matter this time? Will it lead to a feared eruption of Mt. Fuji in Japan?
First of all, Mt. Fuji in Japan is located in the south-central part of Honshu Island, and this time the problem is the famous snow mountain "MOIRE" in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan, and from the geographical distribution, the two are not related.
Although the whole of Japan also belongs to the Pacific Ring Of Seismic Belt - Volcanic Belt area, the geological structure is also independent, and the volcanic system is also independent, so from this factor, there is no absolute relationship between the two, that is, there is no necessity.
So you have to give a reason, right? Why is this happening? According to Japan's Snow Mountain Management Agency, the strange phenomenon that occurred on the famous snow mountain "MOIRE" in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, occurred from the 11th, and a huge crack suddenly appeared on this snowy mountain.
The fissure was initially 90 meters long and 2 meters wide, and then the crack gradually expanded, increasing to 150 meters long and 10 meters wide on the afternoon of the 13th. On the 14th, the rift continued to expand, so it has been increasing.
According to this trend, this is likely to continue, and what is the reason? In response to the reason for this strange phenomenon, Koichi Nishimura, president of the Japan Ice and Snow Society, speculated that it may be a large amount of snow pressing on the lawn that is easy to slide, causing it to slide down.
Because the snow in this area is really too strong, there has been a record-breaking snowfall, as of the 6th local time, the local daily snowfall has reached 60 centimeters, breaking the highest record since 1999, so it is a rare snowfall.
Moreover, if the snow continues to fall, the amount of snow in this area will be more, and it may also cause avalanches and other phenomena, so you know why. It may be the phenomenon of snow accumulation "breaking" caused by too much snowfall.
