NASA scientists reported that the displacement of land masses in Japan due to the 2011 9.0-magnitude earthquake may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches.
The USGS reported that the quake moved portions of northeastern Japan by as much as 2.4 m (7.9 ft) closer to North America and made portions of Japan's landmass wider than before.

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.
