It affects the u.s because the us gets alot of imports from Japan and with the tsunami and everything destroyed, they probably wont import the goods any more.
Additionally, the damage and casualties from this earthquake and it's resulting tsunami help us understand and better prepare ourselves for a similar event that could possibly occur in the Pacific Northwest. Just off the coast of Oregon & Washington is a similar earthquake hazard called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is capable of producing the same type of tsunami inducing earthquake. Researchers have estimated that this area of our Pacific Northwest ruptures every 240 years on average, but the last time was 1700, so we could be overdue for a similar event on our side of the pacific.
The damage due to buildings and infrastructure in the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and resulting fires and explosions is estimated over $180 billion or 3 percent of Japan's annual economic output.Other estimates up to US $300 billion for reconstruction excluding costs caused by the Fukushima nuclear accident but the total cost to Japan is probably much higher.
Because a Tsunami can travel great distances very rapidly. Out in deep sea they don't look like much just a big swell but as they near the coast they pick up speed and height.
Japan didn't receive any warning.
Burping after a meal in Japan is how to show appreciation for the meal. I know, gross to us Americans, but a compliment in Japan.
Art can affect us in various ways. For example, some forms of music, such as Drum and Bass, may fill us with energy.
Yes, An earthquake in Japan can result in a tsunami that impacts Hawaii, Guam, Alaska or the US west coast
Yes!
This would create an earthquake, and a subsequent tsunami that would destroy much of the west coast and southern Alaska.
The last tsunami to hit the US was in March 2011. The same tsunami that hit Japan also caused damage in Hawaii and along the U.S. West Coast. One person in California was killed.
Several U.S. harbors were declared disaster areas, as the tsunami not only ripped boats from their moorings, but ripped the docks free as well. Only one person in the U.S. has a death attributable to the tsunami, a man who decided to try to photograph the tsunami from a sandbar near the mouth of the Klamath River.
in the US please the only thing the US sells are cards, if you want a toy you're going to have to go to Japan or China ( I would choose China because Japan is in no condition to sell toys after the Earthquake and Tsunami
Trivially.
Both countries have tsunami warning systems and rescue teams/efforts.
All countries affect the US Economy in some measure, but particularly Japan, Britain, Canada and Mexico.
That would be from Japan to US, (Alaska to Hokkiado).
A tsunami can affect Canadians if it originates in the Pacific Ocean and reaches the west coast of Canada. In this scenario, coastal communities in British Columbia may experience the impact of a tsunami, including flooding, property damage, and potential loss of life. However, the risk and impact of tsunamis on Canadians are generally lower compared to other regions like the Pacific Rim.
A tsunami happens most often at Hawaii.
