Map Caption:
The map above shows the local scale on Mount Fuji, Japan. Mt. Fuji is a volcano that has erupted repeatedly over hundreds of years,
the last big eruption occurred in 1707. Since the last outburst, Mt. Fuji has not been active for practically 300 years. During eruptions, it
can cause a immense effect towards the atmosphere around Mt. Fuji. These effects comes from the water vapor that can enter the
atmoshpere and affect the humidity. Mt. Fuji has the highest peak in Japan of 3,776 meter (12,385 Feet). The eleveation of Mt. Fuji is at
the highest point, which causes climate to change intensely. The weather on Mt. Fuji is bitterly cold during the winter, degrees dropping
to an average -20C and in the summer time around 7C. The summit falls under either a Hemibroeal climate or a Subartic climate,
depending on tne season.

Regional Scale


Map Caption:
The map is viewed in the regional perspective which shows Mt. Fujis clear surround areas. Mt Fuji is located in the center of Japan,
maintaining a diameter size of 800 meter (2625 Feet), the circumference 3.5 Km (2.2mi), depth 200 meter (656 feet). The climate
surrounding Mt. Fuji is subjective by the elevation. Mt. Fuji having a higher altitude, causes the air pressure to decrease, tolerating air to
increase and get cooler. The colder temperature convert to less evaporation and more humidity in the air, which causes Mt. Fuji to be
covered in snow. The higher the elevation, the compression and attentiveness of oxygen and nitrogen will decrease. Anything that
would be found in air would decrease at the top of Mt. Fuji.


The Global Scale

Map Caption:
The global view shows a better image of the surrounding bodies of ocean around Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji is located near the sea, where the
sea level contributes highly towards the humidity on Mt. Fuji. The humidity have to do with the connection from the hydrosphere and the
atmosphere. The suns radiation will evaporate the water from the ocean. The water being evaporate will turn into vapor that will enter
the atmosphere. This will cause the raise in the airs humidity, when the water vapor combines with the atmosphere. The process and
the high humidity also responsible for creating the clouds that surrounds Mt. Fuji.
