The eruption of the volcano Sakurajima in Japan in a short time, predicts a team of physicists
According to them, disaster can kill thousands of people that are close to settlements.
This information became known on Tuesday from scientific publications EurekAlert! Studying the activity of magma and using the method of computer simulation of the flows of magma, scientists have concluded that from the main crater Ira can be repeated eruption, similar to one that was in 1914.
