How was Mount Fuji formed and what is its height, width, etc. Please give me as much as you can on this since i am doing a project on it.

Hi Todd,

The summit of Fuji is 3,776 meters above sea level. The volcano rises 12,000 feet above the surrounding plains. It is about 6 moles across. See Fuji (http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/img_fuji.html) in Volcanoes of the World. See also Largest Eruptions in the Last 10,000 Years (http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/vw_hyperexchange/veiTables/new_zealand. html) and Volcano Lessons (http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/lessons/Cones/Cones12.html).

Sincerely,
Steve Mattox
