Quakes added to eruption risk on Mount Fuji Santorini Volcano Fills With Most Magma Since Last Eruption Edited September 14, 2012 by hh5
hh5 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Scientists say that the 2011 earthquake may have increased the chances of Mount Fuji erupting. The disaster caused a series of tremors around the mountain, including a magnitude 6.4 quake directly beneath it that caused a 20 meter-long crack in its side and put pressure on the volcano's magma chamber. The volcano is active and if an eruption was to occur it would potentially threaten a vast area including Tokyo, 100 km (62 miles) away.
C James Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I don't think Fuji is much of a threat to Tokyo, it's too far away. Maybe some ashfall though.

hh5 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) isn't this year of significant activity ... so when will we face a big one? mmm is this worst than yellowstone? Scientists examining 20 years of satellite data have found a sombrero-shaped bubble of magma 62 miles across - and, appropriately, located in South America. The Altiplano-Puna plateau in the central Andes region is home to the largest active magma body in Earth's continental crust, and is known for a long history of massive volcanic eruptions.
