The bowels of Mount Fuji, located south-west of Tokyo, were largely under pressure during the earthquake off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 This is what reveals a Franco-Japanese study published Friday in the journal Science and relayed in the columns of the World . "Our work does not say that the volcano will erupt. But they show that he is in critical condition," said Florent Brenguier, study co-author and researcher at the Institute of Earth Sciences, was quoted as saying in the evening.

Last eruption in 1707

Deductions scientists come from a thorough analysis of data collected by 800 seismic sensors of the country, the densest network in the world. As a result, the waves propagated in the magnitude 9 earthquake damaged the Earth's crust in the volcanic regions of Japan , in particular that of Mount Fuji, yet located 500 km from the epicenter.

Mount Fuji, always closely monitored by the scientific community, "is now in a state of pressure as it has potential for significant eruption. Risk is clearly increased," said the scientist. The last eruption of magnitude since the early eighteenthcentury, when the country was much less populated. The only Tokyo megalopolis now has 34 million inhabitants.
