Apparently if everything were normal the magma chamber of Mt Fuji which is 15 Km below the surface would reach 0.1 megapascals of pressure and they would get quakes and an eruption unfortunatly there was this Quake and Tidal wave which hit Japan a while back which resulted major changes. The Magma chamber is now sitting at about 1.6 megapascals.

So there isnt really a choice here. Japan is going to need to be evacuated and Australia will probably need to relocate fifty million Japanese to Tasmania. It can be done. Shipping Container homes - an acre of land each. It will cost about a hundred thousand dollars a family and leaving half of Tasmania as National Park that divides up half of Tasmania into a fifty million population Island. Of course there will be Tidal waves from the explosion. They will probably take out China, Korea, Philipines, Western Canada, West coast USA, Hawaii...

Sssh! Be quiet! Don't go saying that stuff, the Shadow GovernmentTM is using this to blackmail the Reptiloids of MiracleWhip 5 into signing over all their provalone mines in the Ford Fiesta Nebula to the Androgynous Creatures of Indeterminate Alignment of WhatTheHellAmIRamblingAbout Delta! If you keep up talking about this they'll come and get you!

When should we start moving everybody off-planet for the Yellowstone eruption?

Damn, I was hoping that this would be about giant mutant butterflys or something.

Well, they didn't resolve Surtur's plot in Avengers EMH. And it being a fire giant, volcano eruptions seem fitting.

Also, Dingo, linky linky.

Yeah...
And you have to keep people spread out when on an island... otherwise it may tip over.

Yellowstone is over a hotspot volcano.  Those things tend to ooze more than kersplode.
See also: Hawaii.

Hotspot (hawaii, yellowstone) and subduction (japan, cascades) volcanoes behave entirely differently.

OTTers (silversword, CJ) and non-OTTers (qmark) behave differently.

Mt. Fuji are stratovolcanos. That means they can go boom, but more frequently they release semi-violent flows and release gas. Mt. Fuji happens to have a lot of basalt. That means its lava is thick. It will drop lava slowly, and it won't get down the mountain.



And Mt Fuji is sitting at over ten times the pressure required for a regular eruption...meaning super eruption - so lets evac Japan now and save lives. Or we can sit back and wait and after people are dead suggest there was nothing we could do but we probably should have done something at the time. In which case everyone who stalled on this can hang for conspiracy to murder.



Given Tasmania could be occupied by up to 50 million people (on an acre per family) - retaining half of the island as national park at a cost of $100,000 per family I suggest we bill Japan now and start building. Its just 1 Trillion dollars (1 thousand billion).
