HeureMag. / DepthDistanceLocation
Mashu volcano is a 7 km wide caldera in NE Hokkaido, Japan.
The caldera formed ca. 7000 years ago and truncates a stratovolcano which formed the ESE rim of the large Kutcharo caldera to the west. The steep-walled Mashu caldera contains Lake Mashu (摩周湖 Mashū-ko), known for its very clear water, and is one of the scenic highlights of Hokkaido.

Introduction:

A small andesitic stratovolcano, Kamuinupuri, was constructed beginning about 4000 years ago in the SE part of of the deep caldera lake. The latest dated eruption of the volcano was a large explosive eruption about 1000 years ago, which created a 1.2 x 1.5 km crater at the summit of Kamuinupuri.
Kamuishu is a small island in the center of Lake Mashu. It is the tip of a mostly submerged dacitic lava dome.

Plate Tectonics
Introduction to Plate Tectonics: The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.
Ibu
Ibu volcano photos: Ibu in Halmahera is one of the most active, but rarely visited volcanoes in Indonesia. A spectacular lava dome is growing inside the volcano's breached crater, with frequent explosions.
Earthquake report
Monthy earthquake reports: For each month since July 2012, we publish a summary of quake activity world-wide: find the list of largest quake, a map showing all significant quakes as well as detailed statistics on seismic activity during this time.
Igneous rocks
Igneous or magmatic rocks: The most primitive rock type forms when magma (molten rock) solidifies - either inside the earth (plutonic rocks) or during volcanic eruptions (volcanic rocks). A short overview.
