How did the great east Japan earthquake change the Earth's surface?
shifted earth's axis about 10 meters.
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 .
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.
Who first and when estimated the earth's precession?
The Greek astronomer Hipparchus is credited with first estimating Earth's precession around 127-146 B.C. He noticed that the position of the stars shifted over time, indicating a slow wobble in Earth's axis.
If a galaxy is moving towards the earth what direction does its spectrum move?
If a galaxy is moving towards the Earth, its spectrum will be blueshifted. This means that the wavelengths of its emitted light are compressed, resulting in a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum.
If a star is moving toward earth is it?
blue shifted
Is a star is moving toward earth it is?

What do you call the deep cracks in the Earth's crust along which the crust shifted?
A Fault??
Is the sun blue shifted or red shifted?
If you were on a plant looking into the stars the sun would be blue shifted. When looking up at the sky we see the sun moving towards us making it look smaller.
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.
What would happen if the Magnetic poles of the Earth shifted?
nothing catastrophic.AnswerIncreases in skin cancers due to ozone shifts.
Where was Pangaea located?
Pangaea was located on Earth during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, around 300 million years ago. It was a supercontinent that existed before the tectonic plates shifted to form the current continents.
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 .
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.
If a star is moving toward Earth it is?
If a star is moving toward Earth, it will experience a redshift in its light spectrum due to the Doppler effect. This means that the wavelengths of light will be stretched and appear more red. This effect allows astronomers to measure the speed and direction of a star's movement.
