Kyushu University and eight other schools, in conjunction with the Meteorological Agency, conducted a second round of experiments at the Sakurajima volcano near Kagoshima City. They studied the structure of the volcano by creating an artificial earthquake using dynamite. The researchers dug 15 10-meter deep holes and exploded the dynamite in sequence over a period of two hours and 20 minutes.
The objective is to understand the course of magma flow and to help predict eruptions.
