There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre.

Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!

Is there any change in the earth's axis due to the recent earthquake in Japan?

It is unlikely that a single earthquake, even a significant one in Japan, would cause a noticeable change in the Earth's axis. Earth's axis can shift over long periods due to complex factors such as glacial melting and crustal movement, but not typically from a single seismic event.

Did the earth axis move during the Japan earthquake?

There are some reports that the displacement of land masses in Japan may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches. That's because of the shift in Earth's mass caused by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake. It may have also shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second. ~ Look to the related link below .


How much did the earth move on its axis from the japan earthquake?

The 2011 Japan earthquake caused the Earth to shift on its axis by about 17 centimeters (6.5 inches). This shift resulted in a slight increase in the Earth's rotation speed, shortening the length of a day by a few microseconds.


Did the earthquake in Chile cause the earth axis to be tilted?

What? No...the earths axis has been tilted for hundreds of millions if not billions of years. If your question is: Did the earthquake in Chile cause a variation in the tilt of the earth's axis? Then the answer is yes, very slightly, but noticeable.


How did the 2011 Japan earthquake change surface of the earth?

NASA scientists reported that the displacement of land masses in Japan due to the 2011 9.0-magnitude earthquake may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches. 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.
