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.
Did the earthquake in Japan change the earths axis?
There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre. Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!
How did the 2011 Japan earthquake change surface of the earth?
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.

No.
Is the earthquake in japan gone?
The Earthquake doesn't just be gone. it has effects on japan like the devastation and destruction that the earthquake has done and earthquakes don't disappear but they go away an happen again depending on movement in the earths crust if the crust slips under japan again there will be another earthquake
Did Japan's earthquake change earth position?
Barely.
How did the earthquake in japan create or change landforms?
crappy!!
Why does japan has lot of earthquake?
Japan is sitting on 2 plates that are below the earths crust. The plates move causing earth quakes when they rub

Did Japan's earthquake change the weather in the north America?
