2.4 metres
Japan moved about 8 feet! The earthquake magnitude was about 9.2!
8 feet - eastward ( island of Honshu )
Yes, the plates have moved.
The plates moved so this can occur the earthquake.
The earthquake in Japan is a result of the Pacific Plate subducting under the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by thrust faulting.
The earthquake in Japan has moved the earth 25 centimeters(cm) and shortened the day by 1.8microseconds.
Tokyo did not get hit by the recent earthquake in Japan, however the stress from that earthquake has been moved along the plate bounday and therefore Tokyo is the next target for a major earthquake in Japan.
In the JApan earthquake of 2011 Japan moved 13 feet closer to the U.S. And the tsunami covered part of the cost line of Japan, and Washington, and Oregon.
a tsunami is a underwater earthquake,du The earthquake moved the ocean plates causing an uprise in the water and larger waves
it moved the earth 10 inches on its axis and also japan by that much
Parts of Japan near the epicenter moved over 4 meters, both vertically and laterally, as a result of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Areas further away in Japan also moved, but not as significantly. You can view a map of the displacement with a short description at the related link.
it moved a whole 8 feet
It was during the Earthquake, and it moved 13 feet.
It is reported in an interview with Richard Gross, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, that Japan island is 13 feet wider after the massive earthquake making the island slightly closer to the U.S. He also estimated that the earth's axis moved by about six-and-a-half inches due to the quake.
