Miyakejima
is a volcanic island in the Izu archipelago in the Philippine Sea approximately southeast of Tokyo, Japan. As with the other islands in the Izu Island group, Miyake-jima forms part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Etymology There are many theories about the origin of Miyake-jima's name. One theory claims a manuscript about the island's genesis called the ''Miyakeki'' (三宅記), written by a Shinto priest from the island, influenced the name. The manuscript explains how a deity, ''Mashima'' (三嶋), constructed his palace on the island after having built two other houses on neighbouring islands. Each of the houses had their backs facing the palace, thus giving a lined up impression. This belief is known as the 'three-house theory'. Another hypothesis says that the shrines on Miyake-jima are historically related to those on Miyajima, an island in Hiroshima Bay. As there are many more speculations, the true origin cannot be known. Geography The island is a stratovol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Miyake Event
A Miyake event is an observed sharp enhancement of the production of Cosmogenic nuclide, cosmogenic isotopes by cosmic rays. It can be marked by a spike in the concentration of radioactive carbon isotope Carbon-14, in tree rings, as well as Beryllium-10, and Chlorine-36, in ice cores, which are all independently dated. At present, five significant events are known (7176 BCE, 5259 BCE, 664-663 BCE (historically referred to as 660 BCE), 774–775 carbon-14 spike, 774 CE, 993–994 carbon-14 spike, 993 CE) for which the spike in is quite remarkable, i.e. above 1% rise over a period of two years, and four more events (12,350BCE, 5410 BCE, 1052 CE, 1279 CE) need independent confirmation. It is not known how often Miyake events occur, but from the available data it is estimated to be every 400 to 2,400 years. There is strong evidence that Miyake events are caused by extreme solar particle events and they are likely related to Superflare, super-flares discovered on solar-like stars. ...
