Discovery of a great volcano near the coast of Japan

The geologists of Japan's Kobe University, near the coast of Japan, discovered a large volcanic lake containing 34 to 41 cubic kilometers of magma.

In an article published by the team of scientists who discovered the discovery, that in the event of eruption of the volcano in question, it could eliminate the lives of 100 million people in minutes.

Following their research on the Caldera Kikai volcanic lake, the scientists concluded that within it is a dome with a radius of 10 km, 600 meters high and filled with volcanic magma or magma.

The researchers confirm that the volcano was destroyed 7.3 thousand years ago and destroyed the civilization that was thriving in southern Japan in that era.

Geologists also studied the topography of the seabed and concluded that the dome was gradually increasing, resulting in the eruption of the volcano, causing a tsunami that could reach the coast of China and the American continent with its northern and southern shores.
It will also be emitted into the atmosphere if the volcano erupts a volley of volcanic dust, which will lead to a "volcanic winter" in some parts of Japan.

The scientists plan to use robots to study the waterways in a precise and detailed manner, and volcanic experts will determine the speed of accumulation of magma as well as the cause of the formation of the volcano.

It should be noted that the geologists of the University College London had warned last year of the possibility of the eruption of Campi Vlegri or fields Vallegria, a large caldera 13 kilometers located to the west of Naples in Italy, which may occur over the next ten years.

100 million people ! That's really worrying. It makes almost all the population of Japan.
