After the sudden massive eruption of the Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture in the Kyushu region of Japan, the smoke has recently begun to rise from Mount Fuji as well.

Mount Fuji's last eruption was three hundred years ago and now smoke again, people have speculated that the day of its eruption has approached.

Some professionals say that if Mount Fuji erupts this time, it will be at least 6 levels.

Mt. Fuji eruption, how dangerous is it? What will be the impact on the Tokyo metropolitan area?

The impact of the eruption of Mount Fuji on Japan.

Mt. Fuji has not been in a very good position in recent years; it is a hanging sword that could fall on Japan's head at any time.

According to Japanese experts, once Mount Fuji erupts, the ash will drift under the influence of the wind to Tokyo, which is located in the northeast, and it will only take two hours to arrive.

While the thickness of the ash piled up in Kanagawa Prefecture will reach 10 to 29 cm, the metropolitan area such as Tokyo and Chiba will accumulate 2 to 9 cm.

A large amount of volcanic ash will cover electrical facilities, communication facilities, roadways, and water surfaces. The piled-up dust will affect the power supply, communication, and transportation in Tokyo, bringing the city to a standstill. Moreover, toxic volcanic ash falling into water can contaminate water sources.

In addition, large amounts of volcanic ash can cover agricultural land, which can cause food shortages. As you can see, a massive eruption of Mount Fuji would have a very serious impact on Tokyo, and Japan, in general.

In the face of such a dangerous natural disaster as a volcanic eruption, humans are actually completely defenseless, we can only try to protect their lives and property as much as possible.

According to some experts, the eruption of Mount Fuji may appear in the near future, and in Japan is ready to meet the local volcanic eruption.

Of course, we do not have to worry about this back to affect us, Mount Fuji is unlikely to cause a direct impact on our country.

The problem of distance is not to mention that volcanic ash can hardly drift across the Pacific Ocean to our country. What's more, our country is located in the "upwind" direction of Japan, the wind is mostly blowing from our side to Japan, and the volcanic ash from the eruption will not "drift" over.
