Long term effects of the earthquake and tsunami damage in Japan includes the massive cleanup and rebuilding of the country's infrastructure. Secondary effects include the radiation release from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and resulting widespread health and environmental effects.
Other long term effects of the earthquake include changes to the planet itself. NASA scientists reported that the displacement of land masses in Japan may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches. Also, 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.
