How does the earthquake in japan start?
There are vaults in Earth's surface. They can be anywhere. These vaults are just cracks in the earth. The 2 pieces put a lot of pressure together, forming an earthquake, later turning into a mountain or a depression. If a vault is underwater, it causes an earthquake, as the one in Japan. Japan's earthquake had 8.9 magnitude. An earthquake underwater causes the water to overwhelm, and it causes a tsunami.
Why is the earthquake happening?

Did the earth move out of orbit after the Japan earthquake?
The earthquake in Japan has moved the earth 25 centimeters(cm) and shortened the day by 1.8microseconds.
What day was the earth tilted on?
The Earth's axial tilt varies between 22.1° and 24.5° with a 42,000 year period, and at present, the tilt is decreasing. The earth is currently tilted on an axis of 23.5 degrees. The amazing thing is every time there is a major earthquake the tilt of the earth changes. NASA just released findings that the recent earthquake in Chile changed the tilt of the earth and shortened our day by 1.26 millionths of a second. Sumatra earthquake in December 2004 shortened the length of a day by 6.8 millionths of a second. So to answer your question... The earth changes tilt constantly but the most recent change was on February 27 2010.
