Feature of New Zealand's geography

We searched New Zealand’s geography, and I searched New Zealand’s volcano. There are many volcanoes in New Zealand. New Zealand comprises two main islands, the North and the South island. The North has many volcanoes. One of the most famous volcanoes is Pink and White Terraces. It was beautiful by 1886, because it was destroyed by the big eruption. The volcano belched out very hot mud. The very hot mud destroyed Pink and White Terraces, and many smokes raise and covered the mountain. The eruption killed over 150 people and many villages buried. In Japan also has many volcanoes. The most famous volcano is mountain Fuji. Mt. Fuji is 3776 meters high. The last eruption occurred in 1707. It was very big eruption. Many smokes raise and covered Edo. It is 100 kilometers away from Mt. Fuji. I think that Japan and New Zealand are very similar.
