//Mount Fuji //

//- Mount Fuji is located on Honshu island and is currently the tallest volcano/mountain // // in Japan, measuring at approximately 3,776 m (12,389 ft) tall. //

//- The last eruption of Mount Fuji was in 1707 - 1708 on December 16th and ended on // //January 1st the next year. //

//- During the volcanoes eruption, ash was spread along all of the Kanto plains in Tokyo // //destroying houses, buddhist temples, and farmland. //

//- Since the last eruption the volcano has been considered dormant, but between 2000 and 2001 // //irregular seismic activity took place which caused some to believe that the volcano might become // //active again. //

//- Today Mount Fuji is a very common tourist attraction for mountain climbing, snowboarding, and skiing. //

__//Type of Volcano //__

//Mount Fuji is a composite volcano (also known as a stratovolcano), which means the // // lava has a more explosive eruption than other volcanoes. The lava also cools down on // //the exterior of the volcano creating layers of volcanic rock that slope upwards into a // //steady peak. //
