How did the March 2011 Japan earthquake affect people's lives?

It ruined their homes, the stores, their people, and their lives. Many towns along the coastal regions were completely destroyed. The death of friends, family, and local people caused upset in the survivors. There were those who after getting to safe ground from the earthquake, died because they had nowhere to run from the tsunami. There was a nuclear panic after a nuclear power plant went down. The people feared radiation poisoning from the leakage or radiation into the water.


What magnitude was the March 28 earthquake?

It was a pretty terrible event that affected thousands of people. It can be confusing talking about the magnitude of an earthquake as different countries can use different scales (Japan uses a different one from the international standard as one example). The 28 March earthquake was Magnitude 8.6 as measured in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia at 4.09 pm in 2005. The extra energy release to go further up the scale is exponential (meaning that a magnitude 2 earthquake is much more than double the energy of a magnitude 1 earthquake).
