Mount Fuji lacks snow, but no fear of eruption

山頂要沒雪 火山要爆發(fā)?

A lack of winter snow on Japan's famed Mount Fuji has sparked speculation the volcano could erupt for the first time in three centuries, but experts denied any link between snow and seismic activity.

Much of Japan has had record snowfall in the last month, but recent photographs of the usually snowcapped Mount Fuji show its slopes looking bare.

"A lot of snow fell on Mount Fuji, but it was blown off by strong winds," a city official in Fujiyoshida near Mount Fuji said.

Some tabloids have taken the snowless peak as a sign that an eruption was imminent, but scientists said there was no basis for concern.

"There is no link whatsoever between the scarcity of snow on Mount Fuji and volcanic activities there," said a scientist at the volcano section of Japan's Meteorological Agency.

The nearly conical Fuji is classified as a dormant volcano since it last erupted in 1707, but the government was rattled in November 2000 when the number of small earthquakes shaking the peak jumped to more than 200 from a monthly average of around 20.

Japan, which lies at the intersection of several tectonic plates, is regularly rattled by tremors of varying strength, with volcanic eruptions not infrequent.

日本著名的富士山由于冬雪稀少,很多人猜測這座沉睡了三百年之久的火山可能要爆發(fā)了。但是有關(guān)專家們說雪的多少和地殼運(yùn)動之間沒有任何聯(lián)系。

上個月,日本很多地方像往年一樣,都下了雪,但是從近來的一些照片上可以看到,以往被白雪覆蓋的富士山頂如今已經(jīng)露了出來。

富士山附近吉田市的一名市政官員說,"富士山上曾經(jīng)下了很多雪,但是后來被大風(fēng)吹走了。"

一些小報(bào)則對此大做文章,說山頂無雪是火山爆發(fā)的征兆,但科學(xué)家們說這種"擔(dān)憂"是毫無科學(xué)依據(jù)的。

日本氣象廳火山研究所的一位科學(xué)家說,富士山頂?shù)难┳兩俸突鹕竭\(yùn)動之間是沒有什么聯(lián)系的。

這座類似圓錐形的火山最后一次爆發(fā)是在1707年,之后被歸為"休眠火山"。但是在2000年11月,日本政府大傷腦筋,因?yàn)楦皇可缴闲〉卣鸩粩?,從平均每?0次左右飆升到200次之多。

日本位于幾個地質(zhì)板塊的交界處,經(jīng)常受到不同等級的地震的侵襲,偶然也會有火山爆發(fā)。
