		Kikai is a mostly submerged, 19-km-wide caldera south of Kyushu that was the source of one of the world's largest Holocene eruptions about 6,300 years ago.
		The small island of Satsuma-Iwo-jima (80 km S of Kagoshima) forms part of the NW rim of the 19-km-wide Kikai caldera.
		Thermal activity is concentrated on a young rhyodacite dome (Iwo-dake), one of the island's two post-caldera cones.

		Kikai is a mostly submerged, 19-km-wide caldera near the northern end of the Ryukyu Islands south of Kyushu.
		Kikai was the source of one of the world's largest Holocene eruptions about 6300 years ago.
		Rhyolitic pyroclastic flows traveled across the sea for a total distance of 100 km to southern Kyushu, and ashfall reached the northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido.

		O-Bandai volcano was constructed within a horseshoe-shaped caldera that formed about 40,000 years when an earlier volcano collapsed, forming the Okinajima debris avalanche, which traveled to the southwest and was accompanied by a plinian explosive eruption.
		The Kikai Caldera is mostly submarine, with three islands and a few reefs representing part of the caldera rim and central cones.
		Toya Caldera lies in the V-shaped intersection of the Kurile and Japan arcs, along both of which the Pacific plate is subducted northwesterly direction beneath the Eurasian plate at a rate of approximately 10 centimeters per year (Circum-Pacific Map Project, Northwest Quadrant Panel, 1981).

		Such an eruption erases virtually all life in a radius of hundreds of kilometers from the site, and entire continental regions further out can be buried meters deep in ash.
		VEI-8 eruptions are not so great as to form mountains, but instead circular calderas, resulting from the downward collapse of land at the eruption site to fill emptied space in the magma chamber beneath.
		The caldera can remain for millions of years after all volcanic activity at the site has died.

		VEI-8 eruptions are so powerful that they form circular calderas rather than mountains because the downward collapse of land at the eruption site fills emptied space in the magma chamber beneath.
		The Lake Toba eruption was responible for the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere and the Millenial Ice Age.
		The largest known explosive eruption on Earth occurred at the La Garita Caldera in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado approximately 28 million years ago.

	HOLOCENE CATASTROPHIC COASTAL EVOLUTION RELEVANT TO VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES IN SOUTHERN KYUSHU VOLCANIC FIELDS, SOUTH JAPAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Volcanic activity in coastal region is one of the factors greatly responsible for catastrophic coastal change.
		Southern Kyushu coastal area presented here is most suitable for constructing a model for catastrophic change in coastal landforms, because some Quaternary gigantic calderas and intra-caldera volcanoes are characteristically developed in the southern Kyushu coastal area.
		Its comparison with recent crustal movements of Aira caldera associated with recent volcanic activities of intra-caldera active volcano suggests that magma inflation of Aira caldera has been affected the Holocene upwarping.

		The branch observatories and satellite stations are arranged not only at Sakurajima land-tied island but also in Caldera areas, those are Kakuto (40 km north to Sakurajima), Aira in which Sakurajima Volcano lies, and Ata Caldera (50 km south to Sakurajima).
		Permanent GPS station is installed on the rim of Kikai Caldera.
		A 3-component seismometer is installed at 0.5 km west of the active crater and seismic signal is transmitted to the relay station near the coast by radio.
