Fuji was going to erupt because he noticed that the eruption occur within four-years of major earthquakes. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158555434 2017-03-08 04:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158555434 The impact Mt. Fuji had on Edo (known as Tokyo) was that, when it last erupted it ejected ton of tephra in the atmosphere and the tephra was so thick that that the residents had to use candles in the middle of the day. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158556342 2017-03-08 04:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158556342 It affected the people in the surrounding area because damage to nearby homes and the tephra fallout reduced agriculture productivity in the region, causing many people to starve. Mt Fuji killed about 20,000 people they did not die on impact, they did off starvation. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158559204 2017-03-08 05:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158559204 It released tephra to the 1707 eruption of Mount Fuji included volcanic ash and volcanic rock such as pumice and scoria. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158560729 2017-03-08 05:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158560729 The first eruption was in 1707 AD that spewed ash as far as Edo and there has been at least 16 eruptions since 1707. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158561669 2017-03-08 05:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158561669 An ash cloud is a large cloud of smoke and debris that forms over a volcano after it erupts. The most volcanically active belt on Earth is known as the Ring of Fire, a region of subduction zone volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. If it finds a way to the surface (magma chamber), then the result will be a volcanic eruption. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158565352 2017-03-08 06:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158565352 The volcano is made up of three active volcanoes with Komitake at the bottom, Kofuji in the middle, and Fuji as the main one. There is five lake surrounding the volcano These lakes are called Kawaguchiko, Yamanakako, Saiko, Motosuko and Shojiko. s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158566729 2017-03-08 06:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158566729 s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158567440 2017-03-08 06:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158567440 Mount Fuji is located in KitayamaFujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture,Japan s20_jled061 https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158567795 2017-03-08 07:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s20_jled061/v74c1x72w8ni/wish/158567795
