　　日本可能将在百年内毁灭

　　Daily Mail: according to a new study, Japan could be wiped off the face of the earth by a massive volcanic¹ eruption² some time in the next century killing³ almost all of its 127million inhabitants.

　　Experts analyzing⁴ the eruption patterns of volcanoes on the island nation say it is 'not an overstatement' to predict that a natural disaster could leave the country 'extinct'.

　　Scientists at Kobe University looked at a massive volcanic crater⁵ on Kyushu Island, which has erupted seven times in the last 120,000 years.

　　They predicted that another eruption on the southern island would bury 7million underneath⁶ lava⁷ flows, while westerly winds would carry a huge pall⁸ of ash and dust to Honshu.
