subject: The Last Eruption Of Mount Fuji [print this page] Many people wonder what is the answer to the question, when did Fuji-san. Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. It is a volcano that is known for its cone shape. It is one of the recognized Japanese symbols all over the world. It is still active and can erupt again. This is a beautiful volcano that you can see in many works of art by artists in Japan and artists from other countries as well. It is also one of the places frequented by mountain climbers. We can answer the question, when did Fujiyama by learning history.
1. The first answer to the question when did Fujiyama was in 1707. It started erupting in the December's mid part. The explosions happened in a sporadic way. It happened until the first few days of January. It was estimated that almost seven hundred million cubic feet of ash came out of the volcano. The ash fall even reached other cities in Japan.
2. The second answer to the question when did Fujinoyama was in the eruption that was named as the Hoei Eruption. It was by far the strongest eruption of Mt. Fuji. The ash fall even reached other Japanese places like Izu, Edo and Sagami. It was a very powerful eruption that vents formed in the volcano.
3. The third answer to the question when did Fuji-san was in December 16, 1707 when a strong earthquake was first felt. Many people had the chance to evacuate to other places because the earthquake came first.
4. The fourth answer to the question when did Fujinoyama was in the Hoeizan time. It happened in the fourth Hoei year. The term Hoei literally means eternity of prosperity.
The first Mt. Fuji explosion that people know happened seven hundred years ago. The volcano we can see now is just a thousand years old. Severn hundred years ago there was another volcano. It was called, Komitake which was also active. Komitake's eruption was very strong. It threw out ashes, rocks and a lot of lava. The blasts resulted in a new mountain which has a height of three thousand meters.
The second explosion happened on the new Mt. Fuji that was formed after Komitake's eruption. The eruption resulted in a huge outflow of magma. It also had ash falls. The explosion then destroyed several structures surrounding the area. It was a unique volcanic blast because it had several other elements that were not usually included like scoria and rocks.
