Earthquake in Japan 2011

The answer is in direct relation to many things:

1. Exactly how many nuclear power plants go down

2. How swift and effective the Japanese response will be to radioactive detection

3. How much relief there will be from the rest of the world.

These things will directly play into how many people will die of radiation in Japan.

The earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011 lasted for around 6 minutes. It had a magnitude of 9.0, making it one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.

It is difficult to predict when Japan will be back to normal, as it depends on various factors such as the progression of the pandemic, vaccination efforts, and government policies. It is important to follow the guidelines set by health authorities and be patient as the situation evolves.

It is estimated that over 100,000 people were saved during the Japan tsunami that occurred in March 2011. Emergency response efforts, including early warning systems and swift evacuations, played a crucial role in saving lives.

On Thursday March 10, 2011 a series of aftershocks rattled Japan (including a magnitude 6.6 quake) after the magnitude 7.3 quake hit the northeastern Honshu island March 9, said the Japan Meteorological Agency.

On March 11, 2011 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9.

As of August 10 there were 4,308 earthquakes in or near Japan for year 2011 according to the USGS earthquake data (not including small quakes under M 3.0) with March the most active month of the year. That's on average over earthquakes 19 per day.

The Japan earthquake and the subsequent tsunami are important because millions of people have been affected by the disasters. Concurrently, the Japanese government is doing everything in its power to keep a nuclear plant from exploding, which would have detrimental effects.

The earthquake in Japan lasted about 3-5 minutes.

It is difficult to provide an exact cost to rebuild Japan as it would depend on numerous factors such as the extent of damage, types of infrastructure to be rebuilt, and time span of the project. However, it would likely require significant financial investments from the government and international aid organizations.

The 2011 Japan tsunami was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0, causing a sudden uplift of the ocean floor. This abrupt movement displaced a large volume of water, resulting in the tsunami waves that devastated the coastline of 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.

This city of Sendai was 80 miles (128 km) from the epicentre of the March 11, magnitude 9.0, Japan Earthquake. The Japan earthquake was caused by the buildup of strain between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. As the convection currents in the Mantle tried to move the crustal plates around, they were unable to move due to friction. Overtime, this is how strain was built up. The strain reaches its limit and then the plates suddenly move (destructive plate boundary). This action releases shock waves. These are what we feel in an earthquake. When the strain was released the Eurasian plate jolted/ slide upwards above the Pacific plate. This caused an upward wave to be formed. The water flowed in large circular waves which flowed in and out not reaching high land. But when enough strength in the water is gathered it can flow straight, like a wall of water. Now, with enough energy the water can flow over the land and travel as far as it can.

The tsunami in Japan hit the northeastern coast of Honshu, the main island of Japan, particularly in the regions of Tohoku and Fukushima. The tsunami was triggered by a powerful earthquake off the coast on March 11, 2011, causing widespread destruction and resulting in thousands of casualties.

The 2011 Japanese tsunami, triggered by a powerful earthquake, was one of the deadliest and costliest in history, causing widespread devastation and nuclear accidents. Its impact was felt globally due to the resulting nuclear crisis. While tsunamis occur worldwide, the Japanese tsunami stood out due to its magnitude, resulting in a significant loss of life and infrastructure damage.

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!

Many people are donating money to help rebuild buildings & help the sick & injured.

Most donating is being done online but some people are donating through games like FarmVille by buying Japanese special items.

Yes, manga artist Shuho Sato, known for works like "Say Hello to Black Jack," was among the casualties of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. He passed away due to drowning in the tsunami.

There is no way to know the exact numbers, since it is fairly preliminary at this moment. The death toll is rising as rescue searchers find more people under the rubble.

As of March 20, police estimate the death toll has exceeded 18,000. That number has been reduced to just under 16,000 with over 3,000 people still missing as of September 2011.

The earthquake affected primarily the eastern Tohoku region of Japan, including Miyagi, Fukushima, and Iwate prefectures. The earthquake and resulting tsunami caused widespread devastation in these areas in March 2011.

No, the Japanese earthquake of 2011 was not the worst in history. The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile holds the record for the strongest earthquake ever recorded, measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale.

Actually, no one in America felt the Japanese earthquake, but I think I know who you are talking about. A man in California was swept away to sea after a tsunami hit Southern Cali. He was taking photos of the tsunami.

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 .
