The shaking of the main quake (that began at 5:46) lasted for 20 seconds.
10000 days (approxiamately)
20 seconds
It depends on the size of the earthquake, it may take a long time like Hurricane Katrina, or a little time,,, I hope Haiti gets more medical help fast. :)
it depends on how big the earthquake is cause remember earthquakes happen suddenly unlike a hurricane so they might respond after the news of an earthquake has been released
I am not sure I am still in school so I did not get to that thinks for asking me though :):(
it toke about a year
How often an earthquake recurs on a section of fault, or basically how long the stresses take to build up again after an earthquake occurs. Usually, for most active faults the recurrence rate tends to be hundreds or thousands of years.
3m billion
Reconstruction costs topped $50 million after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The same reconstruction costs would be more than $20 billion today.
It takes about 4 year to repair Japan
by a earthquake
It would take about 2 hours and 40 minutes by Shinkansen bullet train to Shin-Kobe station in Kobe-city in Hyogo-prefecture from Shinagawa-station in Tokyo-prefecture.
it toke a long time and they still have not recovered
It took over ten years to recover after the Shaanxi earthquake
It depends on the size of the earthquake, it may take a long time like Hurricane Katrina, or a little time,,, I hope Haiti gets more medical help fast. :)
The government response was awful after the Kobe earthquake as they decided not to take up the offer of other countries, who were prepared to send medics on the basis that they weren't qualified to do medical practices in Japan. Meanwhile the people were freezing as the temperature was -2oC and blankets, food and water were in short supply. Many people lost their jobs and unemployment rose quite dramtically in Japan as Kobe was a major industrial area for Japan.
the long term effects are seismic waves which are little earthquakes after thr REAL earthquake; they will go on for who knows how long....the short terms the length of the REAL earthquake the truth is no one knows how long it will take to recover from Haiti it might take years it might take more or less.......just help in whatever way you can!!!
