39-596: Is 2,832.7 mm (111.52 in) with June as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 26.2 °C (79.2 °F), and lowest in January, at around 5.1 °C (41.2 °F). The highest temperature ever recorded in Ebino was 39.4 °C (102.9 °F) on 17 August 2020; the coldest temperature ever recorded was −12.0 °C (10.4 °F) on 25 January 2016. Per Japanese census data,

52-473: Is a common rock-forming pyroxene mineral with formula (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al) 2 O 6 . The crystals are monoclinic and prismatic . Augite has two prominent cleavages, meeting at angles near 90 degrees. Augite is a solid solution in the pyroxene group. Diopside and hedenbergite are important endmembers in augite, but augite can also contain significant aluminium , titanium , and sodium and other elements. The calcium content of augite

65-584: Is also a miscibility gap between augite and omphacite , but this gap occurs at higher temperatures. There are no industrial or economic uses for this mineral. Augite is an essential mineral in mafic igneous rocks ; for example, gabbro and basalt and common in ultramafic rocks. It also occurs in relatively high-temperature metamorphic rocks such as mafic granulite and metamorphosed iron formations. It commonly occurs in association with orthoclase , sanidine , labradorite , olivine , leucite , amphiboles and other pyroxenes. Occasional specimens have

78-402: Is limited by a miscibility gap between it and pigeonite and orthopyroxene : when occurring with either of these other pyroxenes, the calcium content of augite is a function of temperature and pressure, but mostly of temperature, and so can be useful in reconstructing temperature histories of rocks. With declining temperature, augite may exsolve lamellae of pigeonite and/or orthopyroxene. There

91-594: Is the dominant rock type. The highest peak is Karakuni-dake ( 韓国岳 , Karakunidake ) (1700 m). Its name literally means "Korea Peak"; it was once believed to be so high that the Korean Peninsula could be seen from its summit. Other peaks include the sacred and often fabled in national foundation mythology , Takachiho-no-mine ( 高千穂峰 ) (1573 m) as well as Shinmoedake ( 新燃岳 ) , both active volcanoes. They are part of Kirishima-Yaku National Park near Kirishima City . Legend via oldest extant texts state

104-700: The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force were both named after this mountain. Shinmoedake is the most active of the Mount Kirishima volcanoes, having erupted in January 2011, March 2011, October 2017, and April 2018. The region as well as areas downstream is in the path of expanding Meiyu front from the continent, during the East Asian rainy season , potentially unleashing flash flooding and landslides during this time. Augite Augite , also known as Augurite ,

Numerous eruptions have been recorded since 742. Very strong eruptions happened in 788, 1716 and 1717 . Augite - hypersthene andesite

143-402: The creation of the modern municipalities system. Iino was raised to town status on April 3, 1940, followed by Masayuki on April 1, 1950 and Kakuto on February 11, 1955. The three towns merged to form the town of Ebino on November 3, 1966. The Ebino earthquake occurred on February 21, 1968, killing three inhabitants and injuring 42. Ebino was raised to city status on December 1, 1970. Ebino has
