How much did earth move after the earthquake in Japan?
The earthquake shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet . The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches .
How did the great east Japan earthquake change the Earth's surface?
shifted earth's axis about 10 meters.
If a galaxy is moving towards the earth what direction does its spectrum move?
It will be blue shifted
Is an object that is not moving relative to Earth a blue shift?
No, an object not moving relative to Earth is not a blue shifted object. With no relative motion, an object will not be subject to Doppler effect and will not red or blue shift. For an object to be blue shifted, the distance between the object and Earth must be decreasing. The object must be closing on Earth or vice versa.
What is it called when scientists refer to the earth being all as one large land mass before the tectonic plates shifted and parts of the earth were divided?
This was known as Pangaea.
If a star is moving toward Earth it is?
blue shifted
If a star is moving toward earth is it?
blue shifted
Is a star is moving toward earth it is?
blue shifted
Do different places have different reasons for the occurrence of the earthquake?
Yes they do depending on which type of faultline they're on or near. There are four types of faults: Normal fault, where one side of the faultline is descending into the Earth and rubs against the other side as it falls due to gravity. Reverse fault, essentially the reverse of the Normal fault; where one side is raised up along the faultline. Transcurrent(strike-slip) fault, where one side scrapes horizontally against the other side as the plates move (e.g. the San Andreas fault). Thrust fault, where one side of the faultline thrusts up onto the other side of the faultline.
The farther a star is away from earth the more it is?
red shifted

There is evidence that the magnetic polarity of the earth has shifted several times in the past. what is the cause of this?
we do not know the cause
Will the earths axis be shifted when the sun earth and milky way are aligned?
No. Because such a combination can never exist.
