PLAGIARISM

12. “ Japan’s beautiful Mount Fuji last
erupted in 1707 and is now
classified as dormant.
Dormant volcanoes show no
signs of activity, but they may
erupt in the future.”
VerbatimorDirectQuote fromthe
Research:
Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in
Japan, is actually a dormant volcano.
Dormant means that it is not active.
The last time Mount Fuji erupted was
in 1707, and there is always the
possibility of a future eruption.
