What are the topographical features of Mount Fuji?

The mountain is cone-shaped, erupting * * * 18 times, with the latest eruption in 1707. Although it is in a dormant state, there is still a spray phenomenon. Formed about 6.5438 million years ago, it is a typical layered volcano. The basement is tertiary stratum. At the beginning of Quaternary, volcanic lava broke through tertiary strata and erupted and accumulated into mountains. After many eruptions, volcanic ejecta piled up layer by layer and became a cone-shaped layered volcano. There are more than 2,000 kinds of plants on the mountain, with obvious vertical distribution. Below 500 meters above sea level, there are subtropical evergreen forests, temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests of 500-2000 meters, cold temperate coniferous forests of 2000-2600 meters, and alpine dwarf forest belts above 2600 meters. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round.

Due to the eruption of the crater, Mount Fuji has formed countless caves at the foot of the mountain, and some caves still have ejection phenomena. The cave walls of the most beautiful Mount Fuji cave are covered with stalactite icicles, which do not melt all year round and are regarded as rare wonders. There are two craters on the top of the mountain, the big crater, with a diameter of about 800 meters and a depth of 200 meters. When the weather is clear, watching the sunrise and the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain is an essential tour for tourists from all over the world to come to Japan. About 65,438+0,000,65,438+0,000 years ago, a large amount of lava began to spew out from the west side of the top of the ancient Mount Fuji. These lava formed the new Mount Fuji, the main body of Mount Fuji. Since then, the ancient Fuji has been juxtaposed with the new Fuji. About 2500-2800 years ago, due to weathering, a large-scale landslide occurred at the top of the ancient Fuji Mountain, and finally only the top of the new Fuji Mountain was left.
