Japan

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 .

The number as of now is 10,000 casualties, meaning 10,000 dead or mising

Thousands of coastline miles were affected in Japan due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami caused widespread devastation along the northeastern coast of Japan, resulting in significant damage to coastal communities and infrastructure.

The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, occurred on March 11, 2011. It was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that triggered a devastating tsunami and caused widespread destruction in Japan.

Japan is not "a volcano" but the islands that comprise Japan are primarily volcanic. There are many volcanoes in Japan. (Mount Fuji is probably the one that has been imaged the most).

Yes, Kyoto experienced shaking during the 2011 earthquake, but it was not as severely affected as areas closer to the epicenter. There were disruptions to transportation and services, but Kyoto did not suffer the same level of devastation as cities such as Sendai.

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.

The tsunami in Japan occurred on March 11, 2011. It was caused by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Tohoku, Japan, which triggered devastating waves that resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life.

Kenya is supposed to be more diverse. Japan is supposed to have a better education system.

It would be hard to judge which is better. You would have to look for what you like in a country.

As of September 2021, the last major disaster in Japan was Typhoon Mindulle in August 2021, which caused strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding in several regions of the country. However, Japan experiences frequent natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake (originally reported as 8.9) on Friday, March 11, 2011 happened near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. According to USGS, the epicenter of the quake was reported to be 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku near Sendai.

In was reported that the earthquake created tsunami waves of up to 10 meters (33 ft) that struck Japan, with smaller waves in many other countries, with a significant surge and damage as far away as Chile, on the opposite side of the world from Japan. In Japan, the waves are reported to have traveled up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) inland.

During the Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, the Pacific Plate slid beneath the North American Plate by about 15-20 meters along a 400-kilometer fault line. This movement caused the seafloor to uplift and triggered the devastating tsunami.

If proper safeguards were used, the amount of radioactive fallout should be minimal. There are multiple factors to be taken into consideration.

In emergency situations, boron and/or hafnium rods are inserted into the reactor vessels to 'slow down' the atomic reaction. Other safeguards may be instituted.

The earthquake generated tsunami on March 11, 2011 produced waves that surpassed four story buildings, or more than 40 feet, as witnessed in Shizugawa and elsewhere near Japan's coast.

The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile.

The death toll is said to be more than 1,700 and more than 10,000 are missing.

The impact of the earthquake that hit Japan on 11March2011 shifted the earth's rotation axis is nearly 10 cm. It's the preliminary result of studies carried out by INGV, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

A new analysis of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan has found that the intense temblor has accelerated Earth's spin, shortening the length of the 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds, according to geophysicist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

This isn't the first time a massive earthquake has changed the length of Earth's day. Major temblors have shortened day length in the past.

The 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile last year also sped up the planet's rotation and shortened the day by 1.26 microseconds. The 9.1 Sumatra earthquake in 2004 shortened the day by 6.8 microseconds.

The tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011 was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Tohoku. This earthquake, known as the Tohoku earthquake, happened along the fault line where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate, generating the powerful tsunami waves that caused extensive damage along the Japanese coast.

The tsunami hit Japan about 30 minutes after the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The earthquake's epicenter was off the east coast of Japan, generating a large tsunami that caused widespread devastation along the country's coastline.

Because Japan is a series of islands, located far enough from the Asian mainland to make travel there inconvenient, the Japanese population is somewhat confined. Japan is one of the most industrialized societies in the world. This coupled with Japan's fairly large population, given its size, means that Japan is very densely populated. In cities, most people live inhigh-risesand large complexes. This density of population can easily lead to societal maladies ensuing from high population density, such as fast communication of disease, limited resources, competitive economics, pollution and sanitation problems, and unhealthy amounts of stress incorporated in the average citizen's everyday life.

Ten to fifteen minutes, depending on where on the coast you are standing.

Well, I live in Long Beach, California. Yesterday--on March 11--they gave Southern Cali a warning about tsunamis. Luckily, Long Beach wasn't hit with a tsunami, but Santa Cruz and Cresent City did (unfortunately).

There is no scientific evidence linking solar flares to the occurrence of tsunamis. Tsunamis are primarily triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, causing the displacement of water. Solar flares are bursts of energy from the sun that can affect electronics and communications on Earth, but they do not directly cause natural disasters like tsunamis.

No. It is only one of many times that an earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. Earthquakes in subduction zones such as the one of the coast of Japan often trigger tsunamis. The March 2011 earthquake, at magnitude 9.0, was the strongest on record in Japan though.
