The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai submarine volcano in the South Pacific island country of Tonga erupted twice on the 14th and 15th of this month, triggering an earthquake and tsunami with a magnitude of 7.4, and the Tonga Kingdom was affected. The volcanic eruption has also worried scientists, because recent surveys have pointed out that the number of craters of Mount Fuji in Japan has increased by nearly 6 times compared with the past, and some experts even admitted that “Mt. Fuji, which has been silent for 300 years, is not surprising whenever it erupts.” .
According to a report by South Korea’s Channel A TV station on the 15th, there are more than 100 active volcanoes in Japan, among which the magma under the famous Mount Fuji is just about to move. In December last year, an earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred near Mount Fuji, which made local residents deeply worried that the volcano may erupt at any time. .
The report also pointed out that recent studies have found that the number of craters of Mount Fuji in Japan has increased by nearly six times. Toshiji Fujii, director of the Mount Fuji Science Institute in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, said bluntly that Mount Fuji has been silent for 300 years, and it is not surprising when it erupts. The Japanese people are very worried; a professor at Aoyama Gakuin University also said that when Mount Fuji erupted 300 years ago, a large amount of volcanic ash reached the sky over Tokyo within 2 hours. The interruption caused huge losses like astronomical figures. Japanese media speculated that if Mount Fuji really broke out, it may cause economic losses of at least 100 trillion yen (about NT$24 trillion) in Japan.
In fact, concerns about the eruption of Mount Fuji are spreading among the Japanese people. On December 3 last year, Yamanashi and Wakayama prefectures experienced successive earthquakes of magnitude 4.9 and magnitude 5.4 at an interval of 3 hours. Kagoshima also occurred several small-scale earthquakes, causing a large number of Japanese Netizens expressed concern that “If Mount Fuji erupts, Tokyo people will be really miserable”, “If you want to escape, there is nowhere to escape”, “There is still new coronary pneumonia, where can you escape?”, forcing the Japan Meteorological Agency to hold a press conference quickly, It is pointed out that “there is no special change in the seismograph and crustal change data, and the two earthquakes should have nothing to do with volcanic activity.”
