Volcano Erupts in Japan; Injuries Reported

5. I'm no scientist, but...

... I'd have to say it's unlikely there's any connection to fracking. The Earth's crust is divided up into separate tectonic plates, which are unconnected (although, of course, they do press, rub, dive beneath, and slide atop of each other, occasionally producing earthquakes). In addition, the activities of fracking, while they might generate small tremors in a small area, are insignificant compared with the convection currents of trillions and trillions of tons of hot magma circulating in the Earth's mantle.

If anyone has more information or ideas, supporting or refuting the above, I'd love to hear them. I don't know that much and would like to learn more. Thanks.
