Mount Fuji, Japan. The highest mountain in Japan, rising to 12,388 feet

How does Mount Fuji impact people?

Not by much.

Its occasional explosions may have caused some damage, but does not hold much significance in history of Japan.

Although there are signs of explosions that could occur in future, the Japanese government is quite used to disasters due to so many earthquakes destroying even one of the biggest cities in Japan. Although it is a different type of disaster, I'm quite confident that the Japanese officials will figure out a way to reduce the damage.

The mountain is currently one of the top symbols of Japan, but that is not because it's a special mountain, but rather because of the spiritual significance the ancient Japanese have given themselves.

It is a good choice for leisure activities that involves mountains, certainly not the best though.

Mount Fuji may be a landmark, but the mountain as it self has done pretty much nothing for nor against Japan.

How was mount Fuji made?

Mount Fuji is a strato (composite)volcano, a shield volcano is a flatter dome shape like Kilauea and Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii.

composed of many layers of hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash. These volcanoes are characterized by a steep profile and periodic, explosive eruptions. The lava that flows from them is viscous, and cools and hardens before spreading very far, which the volcano tends to grow more upword than outword like precicly Mt Fuji.

Although stratovolcanoes are sometimes called composite volcanoes, volcanologists prefer to use the term stratovolcano to distinguish among volcanoes because all volcanoes of any size have a composite (layered) structure --- they are built up from sequential outpourings of eruptive materials.
