It affects the u.s because the us gets alot of imports from Japan and with the tsunami and everything destroyed, they probably wont import the goods any more.
Additionally, the damage and casualties from this earthquake and it's resulting tsunami help us understand and better prepare ourselves for a similar event that could possibly occur in the Pacific Northwest. Just off the coast of Oregon & Washington is a similar earthquake hazard called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is capable of producing the same type of tsunami inducing earthquake. Researchers have estimated that this area of our Pacific Northwest ruptures every 240 years on average, but the last time was 1700, so we could be overdue for a similar event on our side of the pacific.
