Asama+Tyson+Fust

﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ Tyson Fust, Mount Asama ﻿ ﻿Tyson, I like what you have so far, especially the format. You need to add some pictures, though. **__Type of Volcano:__ **Complex Volcano

__**Geographic Location:**__ Central Hunshu, Japan, 130 km NW of Tokyo.

__**Type of plate boundary:**__ The Asama Volcano lies on the Eurasian, Philippine, North American and Pacific plates. What type of plate boundary (subduction, collision???)

__**Name, distance, and population of nearest major city (cities):**__﻿ Honshu, Japan __** Date of most recent eruption: **__ Early Febuary 2009

__**Date of most DESTRUCTIVE eruption:**__ September 2004

__**Predict when next eruption may occur:**__ I think the next erruption will take place somwhere between January and March of 2012.

__**Other event associated with the last eruption (earthquakes, floods,etc):**__ Mount Asama erupted in early February 2009, sending ash to a height of 2 km, and throwing rocks up to 1 km from the crater. Ashfall was reported in Tokyo, 145 km southeast of the volcano crater. On February 16 there were 13 recorded volcanic earthquakes and an eruption emitting smoke and ash in a cloud 400 m high.

__**Major hazards to humans in the vicinity of this volcano:**__ Feb 2, A volcano in central Japan erupted on Monday, spewing hot rocks and ash, but there was no major damage in the sparsely populated vicinity.

 Mount Asama, an active complex volcano, its putting Japan’s Meteorological Agency on high alert. Geophysicists predict the volcano could explode within the next 48 hours, possibly powerful enough to blast rocks from its peak, causing damage up to four kilometres away. So the advice I give to the people living there is to maybe be carefull on how close they live to the center of the volcano and if it does explode to be as far away as they can cause ash and rocks can be thrown up 2 km away and the size of small boulders that can crush cars and braek glass. The last peice of advice i can say to the people there is to have a earthquake kit full of water and food and saftey materials so if ever a violent earthquake they can have supplies to last them days if not weeks. Read this over and correct grammar and spelling mistakes. Read the other wikipages. Select three volcanoes and tell me __why__ you chose them. What are the similarities (3) and difference(s) (at least 1) between your volcano and the three you chose?
