What happens as a result of the sudden shift between two tectonic plates s?

As a result of the sudden shift between two tectonic plates, an earthquake occurs. This sudden movement releases energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the ground, causing the Earth's crust to break and deform. The intensity and impact of the earthquake depend on the magnitude of the shift and the location of the plates.


Did the earth axis move during the Japan earthquake?

There are some reports that the displacement of land masses in Japan may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches. That's because of the shift in Earth's mass caused by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake. It may have also shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds.
