Volcans au Japon (546)

Japan has over 100 active volcanoes, more than almost any other country and accounts alone for about 10 % of all active volcanoes in the world. The volcanoes belong to the Pacific Ring of Fire, caused by subduction zones of the Pacific plate beneath continental and other oceanic plates along its margins.
Japan's volcanic arcs and tectonic setting
Japan is located at the junction of 4 tectonic plates - the Pacific, Philippine, Eurasian and North American plates, and its volcanoes are mainly located on 5 subduction-zone related volcanic arcs where the Pacific Plate descends under the North American Plate along the Kuril Trench and the Japan Trench and underneath the Philippine Sea Plate along the Izu-Bonin Trench. The Philippine Plate itself subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate at the western end, forming the Ryukyu Trench. The principal resulting volcanic ars are:
- Ryukyu Arc and Southwest Honshu Arcs in the south (Philippine plate subducting beneath between the Eurasian Plate),
- Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc (subduction of Pacific plate beneath Philippine plate)
- Northeast Honshu and Kurile Arc in the north (subduction of Pacific plate beneath the N-American plate)
(more info: www.glgarcs.net/intro/subduction.html)

Besides intense volcanic activity, Japan is one of the places in the world most affected by frequent, and sometimes devastatingly large earthquakes. Its oceanic setting makes it vulnerable for tsunamis as well, as the tragedy of the 11 March 2011 8.9 earthquake and tsunami terrifyingly illustrated.

Record in historically documented eruptions
Japan's first documented historical eruption was from Aso volcano in 553 AD , the year after Buddhism was introduced from Korea. It holds a record in the number of historically documented eruptions.
Japan's largest historical eruption (Towada, 915 AD), 17 Japanese volcanoes had been documented in eruption, more than the rest of the world combined (including 10 in Europe).

Remark:
Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.

Tremblements de terre importants au Japon depuis 1900


Le tremblement de terre le plus meurtrier au Japon depuis 1900 était le séisme de magnitude 7.9 au  Japon, préfecture de Kanagawa le septembre, 1, 1923. Cela a fait 142,807 de décès et 47,000 blessés. La plupart des dégâts causés par le séisme sont dus au tsunami qui a suivi le séisme. Le tsunami a atteint des hauteurs allant jusqu'à 13 m. C'était le 11. séisme le plus meurtrier de l'histoire de l'humanité et le séisme le plus désastreux jamais enregistré au Japon.
La plupart des victimes et des dégâts sont dus au tsunami qui a suivi le séisme. Le tsunami a atteint des hauteurs allant jusqu'à 39 m. C'était le 4. séisme le plus désastreux jamais enregistré au Japon. Ce fut également le tremblement de terre le plus dévastateur survenu dans cette période : les pertes économiques totales ont été estimées à l'équivalent de $220 milliards de dollars américains. Plus que 2,470 des maisons et autres bâtiments ont été détruits et presque 5,620 endommagés.
