What kind of volcano is 磐梯山?

磐梯山 is classified as a Stratovolcano in Japan. Its tectonic setting is Subduction zone / Continental crust (> 25 km).

How is seismicity near 磐梯山 monitored here?

Earthquakes within 50 km of the crater are aggregated from 18 seismic networks and checked against a swarm rule that compares the current rate with this volcano's own 30-day background. Ash advisories come from the VAAC centres that are connected.

Volcano 磐梯山

1888年7月15日，一次蒸汽爆炸炸开了山体北侧，岩屑崩落掩埋了多个村庄，约477人遇难。碎石堵塞河流，形成了数百个湖泊和池塘，其中包括色彩斑斓的五色沼；这次山体崩塌后来成为理解1980年圣海伦斯火山喷发的重要参照。
