Haneul friend: Jion Lee from Incheon to Japan

I know that Japan has a variety of beautiful topography. Among them, I was interested in Mount Fuji, which is considered a tourist attraction and a sacred place. Mount Fuji was formed about 100,000 years ago and is said to have established itself as the highest mountain in Japan. In particular, it is interesting to note that volcanic activity has resulted in the creation of numerous caves near Mount Fuji's second peak, Hoizan, at the foot of the mountain, No. 5, and Aoki Gahara Forest. The area is said to be equipped with several mineral-rich hot springs, which can be enjoyed by tourists.

I was also curious about the formation process of Mt. Fuji and the current structure. Mount Fuji is a stratified volcano with a four-story structure. The geological formation of Mt. Fuji started about 600,000 years ago and has been repeated for centuries by volcanic activity. It consists of a layer of volcanic material, including lava, ash deposits, and Hwashae material, each of which has a different stage of eruption. It is said that the lower part is mainly composed of layers of basalt lava, and the upper part is composed of Ansan and Baegun rock lava, volcanic ash deposits, and volcanic Tebra layers. It is impressive that the characteristics and composition of each volcanic material vary depending on the type of magma. The location was the sea until about 10 million years ago, and the Philippine Sea began to move northward, causing tectonic collisions and bumps. First, after the formation of preceding volcanoes such as Komitake Volcano, Hakone Volcano, and Ashitaka Mountain, the Izu Peninsula collided with Honshu to form the Go Fuji Volcano, and about 10,000 years ago, the Shin Fuji Volcano erupted to form its current appearance. It is Japan's highest peak at 3,776 m above sea level, and it is also one of the highest heights in the Asia-Pacific region. Mount Fuji is located on the edge of the plate and has a very high risk of earthquakes.

Mt. Fuji is very high in altitude and is covered with ice caps at the top, which is why I thought the landscape was considered one of the most beautiful and attractive tourist attractions.

 In this regard, I wonder how the area around Mount Fuji is geographically affected by the huge stratified volcano called Mount Fuji. Also, what ᅠ of the characteristics does the terrain develop around Mount Fuji have?

These days, Korea is getting warmer and has a spring-like weather. The minimum temperature in the morning is 4 to 11 degrees, and the maximum temperature in the day is between 7 and 24 degrees, and the temperature is generally rising. In particular, today the 11th seems to have reached its peak in spring, with daytime temperatures rising to around 25 degrees across the country. In addition, I saw a news article that the coming weekend will bring typhoons as a low pressure accompanied by a chill goes south. Not long ago, cherry blossoms bloomed in the area where you currently live. In other parts of Korea, cherry blossoms are said to have already been in full bloom a few days ago. However, compared to last year, the blooming time of cherry blossoms has been slightly later. Until last year, the blooming period of cherry blossoms was showing a trend of getting faster. Since the 2020s, there have been frequent cases of blooming more than 10 days earlier than the average year.

The phenomenon that the flowering period of cherry blossoms is accelerated is a clear signal of climate change. However, in this year's case, the blooming time is late, which is also a frequent abnormal low-temperature phenomenon, and can be explained by the climate crisis. As can be seen from this case, climate change is an issue not only in Korea but also in the world. Human actions, which are variables in the natural environment, such as indiscriminate human resource abuse, have increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing a climate crisis beyond climate change. Natural disasters and extreme weather appear due to the climate crisis, which lead to various damages that threaten human livelihoods.

In October 2020, the Japanese government announced that it aims to realize a decarbonized society by 2050, that is, to substantially zero greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane by 2050. In April 2021, with the goal of becoming carbon neutral, it announced a 46 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Japan's energy consumption structure has an energy structure similar to that of Korea, which is the center of energy consumption for industrial power generation, and buildings and transportation account for 50 percent of the total emissions. Therefore, I think that the national and urban decarbonization policy is an important item. I saw an article that the Japanese government will implement the "Midori (Green) Food System Act" in relation to environmental issues from 2022. According to this law, the government is said to have provided support for eco-friendly crops. In fact, it is said that greenhouse gas reduction labels are also operated to improve consumers' awareness of environmental problems. Based on these government policies, what practical actions can individuals do? And I wonder if you have actually purchased food items with labels such as greenhouse gas reduction labels.

 Hi!! Im jion from incheon, korea. I am attending Incheon haneul academy. I'm interested in cosmetics and its manufacturing industry. I am currently interested in medical science, especially in bioscience. That's why I hope to be a plastic surgeon. I want to share my interest with people around the world since I have a dream to become a prominent figure in my profession. For my dream, I am planning to interact with young youths all over other countries.

I'm interested in Japan in particular. I read a news on internet that Japan has highly advanced medical and iartic technology. I thought I could carry out interaction for research and development. In addition, I am looking forward to conduct fusion enterprise with other industries, such as engineering and mathematics. I have a great expectation for my future growth.
