Geology
The activity of volcanoes began about 700,000 years ago and was formed to the top of the mountain some 300,000 years before the last eruption. The eastern slope is covered with swamps, such as the Tohokuharahara, and relatively smooth, but on the North Pole, the horse-shoe-form caldera, with a long distance of 2.5 kilometers, opens up to show a steep appearance, and there is a spread of sediment when it collapses in the mountain. The humble mountain formation of Mount Gassan reminds us of a volcanic volcano, and it was once thought that way, but the existence of the central mountain of Mount Hakashi near the top of the mountain and the explosion of Caldera is characteristic of the volcanic layers and is no longer considered a volcanic volcano. In the southwest, there is a heap of soft volcanic eruptions about 100 meters deep on the hard volcanic rock, and it is more likely to trigger landslides by the flow of a large amount of melting water from the earth near the surface of the Mount Gassan. Therefore, there may be extensive landslides in the Department of Road Traffic, and it is planned to start a full-scale construction that will stop ground movement from the level of 21 years.
