Answer 2

Japan

Answer 3

Mount Fuji is outside Tokyo and is the most famous mountain in that country. I think if you check the internet for famous volcanoes, you'll find some.

Answer 4

Yes Mt. Fuji is in Japan, and it is an extinct volcano.
If you look in google search , or similar search engine system, you will find out heaps of information about Mt. Fuji, and a whole lot more.

Answer 5

Mt. Fuji is in Honshu, Japan. Mt. St. Helens in the state of Washington, US is well known because of the explosion in the recent past (1980), a few people died and it really transformed the immediate area. I remember seeing footage of it, with trees floating down brown rivers.

Answer 6

japan

Answer 7

arkansas japan really i've been there and ate some rice

Answer 8

why dont you try mount saint Helen's

Answer 9

Try googling. Don't be so lazy, expecting others to do your work for you.

Answer 10

Fuji Volcano is the highest in Japan, rising 3776 m above sea level in the form of a typical cone about 50 km across the base. At the summit of the volcano is a circular crater about 500 m across and as much as 250 m deep below the highest point (35o21'N, 138o43'E). The upper half of the volcano is all in white color in winter, small patches of permanent icy snow left on the shady slopes in and about the summit crater are usually seen even in midsummer. But any traces of past glaciation are found nowhere on the volcano. The reason is nothing but the fact that the volcano is virtually covered almost everywhere with lava-flows and pyroclastics ejected by the volcanic eruptions that have occurred since the end of the last period of the Quaternary Ice Age.

The simple conical outline of Mt. Fuji belies its complex history of growth. Instead of being a single structure, the volcano is actually a group of superposed cones. Fuji Volcano consists of three different volcanoes; Komitake, Ko-Fuji (Older Fuji Volcano) and the present Fuji (Younger Fuji Volcano) which lie one upon the other. In addition, the volcano is studded with parasitic cones and flank openings amounting collectively more than one hundred although most of them are too small to be unsightly excrescences in the landscape of the host mountain.

geology of mt fuji
Fuji Volcano is a large composite stratocone consisting of alternating lava flows and pyroclastics. It is composed of three cones, Komitake, Older Fuji and Younger Fuji volcanoes, in order of decreasing age. Borehole data revealed that the basement rocks beneath the volcano belongs to the Misaka Group, which is composed mainly of Tertiary marine sediments. Moreover, accidental fragments from Tertiary volcanic rocks were also found in Fuji Volcano's ejecta.

The activity of Komitake Volcano started in the middle Pleistocene with the eruption of andesite lava flows. This activity is coeval with Ashitaka Volcano located on the southeastern foot of Mt. Fuji. The volcanic center of Komitake Volcano is interpreted to be at the northern flank of Mt. Fuji as indicated by the slopes of lava flows comprising Komitake Volcano.


Older Fuji Volcano started its activity 80 ka and ended 11 ka. Its activity was characterized by the ejection of voluminous pyroclastic falls. Total volume of the ejecta is estimated as 250 km^3. Large-scale mudflows (Older Fuji mudflows), generated from pyroclastic-flows and debris-avalanche deposits, also characterizes the older volcano.


Eruptive history of Younger Fuji Volcano
The Younger Fuji Volcano exhibited various types of eruptions during 11,000 years. The eruptive history of the Younger Fuji was studied by Tsuya (1968), Machida (1964), Uesugi et al., (1980), and Uesugi (1990). Tsuya (1968) divided the Younger Fuji into three stages, older, middle, and younger, and Miyaji (1988) furthermore gave the detailed eruptive history tephrochronologically, as follows.


Distribution of flank (parasitic) cones and craters of Fuji Volcano. The parasitic cones and craters are lining up in the direction of NW-SE.


(1) 11 - 8 ka
Summit and flank fissure eruptions produced large volumes of lavas, mostly of olivine basalt. They are distributed mainly on the northern, western and southwestern foot. Small-scale tephra eruptions were also associated.

Voluminous lava eruption was followed by an intermittent small-scale ejection of tephra. These tephras deposited thickly on the flank and eastern foot of volcano. The felsic ash layer that erupted 6.4 ka at Kikai Caldera (southern Kyushu) is found in them.

Major lava flows and minor pyroclastic falls erupted from the summit and flank craters. Most of lava flows are blocky, and pyroxene olivine basalt.

The activity became explosive and major pyroclastic falls were erupted intermittently, mostly from the summit crater. Pyroclastic flows also occurred in this stage; the deposits were found on the southern and western slopes of the volcano. AT 2.5 ka, a large-scale debris avalanche, the Gotemba Debris Avalanche, generated and attacked on the eastern foot of volcano.

Strombolian activity occurred at the NW-SE trending flank craters, formed many scoria cones. Most of the lava flows are "aa" lava of pyroxene olivine basalt. In the 800-864 eruption, major lava flows effused from a parasitic cone at the NW flank of volcano. A large lake was partially buried by lava flows and separated into two lakes, the present lakes of Sai and Shoji.
(6) 1707 AD
On December 16, 1707 (10h00m), a large plinian eruption occurred at the SE flank of volcano. Ashes dispersed eastward (toward the Edo, presently Tokyo), causing darkness even around 13h00m. Even in the night heavy ash fall continued in the area east of the volcano. Tephras changed the chemistry with time from dacitic to basaltic missing andesitic composition. Total volume of tephra reached about 1.7 km^3. After this eruption, no signs of renewed activity were recorded, except for some steaming at the summit vent during 1780-1820.
