Today, I'm going to write about my major.
I major in earthscience, or geoscience.
I'm from Shizuoka Prefecture. It is said the Tokai Earthquake will comes. My family and many friends live there. There is a big volcano, Mt.Fuji, too.
So I thought I have to study about the mechanism of earthquake and volcanic eruption.
I'm in the department of earth and environmental sciences in Hirodai.
Most of my friends want to study about weather, earth environment, and space. In this department, we can learn many things about the earth. We need math and physical skills, but I don't have such skills yet.
I want to study about the relation of natural disaster and our life. Forecasting of earthquake is so difficult, however.
This picture is earthquake locations (Tohoku and Kanto Regions) for the last 7 days.
This is from "Hi-net". I usually check this page.
