The study of Japanese scientists, published in the journal Scientific repots, reports Rus.Media.

Geologists studied the Kika Caldera – the crater of a volcano that spewed lava 7.3 thousand years ago. Then this eruption led to the destruction of civilization in the South of Japan.

According to the studies in this volcano is a dome with a radius of 10 kilometers and a height of 600 meters, filled with magma. In addition, during the research scientists noticed that the dome increases, this is evidenced by the irregularities on the surface of the seabed.

A powerful volcanic eruption can cause a serious tsunami capable of reaching the coast of China and even North and South America.

Also, the air will be thrown a lot of ash that will lead to a “volcanic winter” in some areas of Japan. According to geologists, the eruption of this volcano can “bury” the 100 million people.
