Japan

See below for a link to a list of all the expected landing times for the tsunami, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Note from the source: This list gives estimated times of arrival for locations along the North American Pacific coast from a tsunami generated at the given source location. THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival time is the initial wave arrival. Tsunamis can be dangerous for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not necessarily the largest.

Waves triggered by the 8.9 earthquake measured as high as 10 meters according to news reports. The water washed over many cities, knocking over homes and cars in its path.

A 9.0-magnitude earthquake at sea rocked Japan, causing a massive tsunami with waves up to 30 feet high. The quake happened when one of the earth's plates slid under another, displacing a large amount of water, which caused the tsunami.

Damage from fire and flooding was extensive. The death toll as of March 12 is still uncertain but is over 10,000.

The 2011 Japan Tsunami did not directly hit Indonesia. The tsunami was generated by a powerful earthquake off the coast of Japan and primarily affected the Japanese coastline. Indonesia is located quite a distance away from the epicenter of the earthquake.

The 8.9 earthquake in Japan, also known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, was one of the most powerful earthquakes recorded in Japanese history. It resulted in significant damage, including a devastating tsunami that caused widespread destruction, loss of life, and a nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.

A magnitude 9.0 earthquake rocked Japan March 11, 2011 at 2:46 p.m. local time followed by many aftershocks. This was one of the largest earthquakes of the century. The major quake occurred beneath the ocean near Sendai, Japan, which triggered a massive tsunami. Waves as high as 35 feet were reported in several Northern regions of Japan.

8,649 people were initially confirmed dead as of March 11, 2011 with more than 21,911 people are still missing. The number of deaths was later updated to nearly 16,000 people. Over 92% of reported deaths were due to drowning.

A recent disaster was the Fukashimi Nuclear Power plant in Okuma. The engines powering the cooling system for the reactors failed after the earthquake, causing the nuclear core to heat up and pressurize. It finally gave out late yesterday (Japanese time). Residents within a 20 mile radius of the plant were evacuated and given iodine tablets (which stop the absorption of radioactivity to some degree).

More details including a timeline of the Fukashimi Nuclear Power disaster can be found in related links below.

Japan's earthquake could affect San Francisco through the propagation of seismic waves across the Pacific Ocean. Due to the interconnected nature of tectonic plate boundaries, a large earthquake in Japan could trigger seismic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire, potentially impacting areas like San Francisco along the North American Plate boundary.

No. The tsunami, or any tsunami that is likely to occur, can only affect coastal areas and will come no more than a few miles inland even over flat land. There are hundreds of miles of mountains between Utah and the coast.

There is only one event that could trigger a tsunami large enough to cross mountains: a missive impact from an asteroid or comet. But such an event has not happened in at least 65 million years and I'd bet a great deal that one will not happen in our lifetime.

When earthquakes hit at sea, they usually create tsunamis with waves that can be over 30 feet in height. Moving to higher ground prevents you from being swept away when the tsunami hits land.

The Tallest on record was 1720 feet tall, it hit Lituya Bay, Alaska on July 9, 1958. Most do not reach such enormous heights but its safer to get out of its way no matter how tall it is.

Well I studied Japan and the strongest person in Japan today is. Abraham Lincoln! Happy Birthday Ab!

A2. The question lacks parameters. How do you define strength - weight lifting, chin-ups, press-ups

One famous earthquake legend in Japan is about the giant catfish Namazu, believed to live in the underground waters. It is said that Namazu thrashes its tail, causing powerful earthquakes. The myth represents the unpredictable and destructive nature of earthquakes in Japanese folklore.

The climates of Northern Japan and the Koreas are generally colder with colder winters and shorter summers. They also experience more snowfall compared to Southern Japan, which has milder winters and hotter summers. Additionally, the northern regions tend to have a larger temperature difference between seasons.

The main crater of Mount Asama, called Onioshidashi crater, has a diameter of about 600 meters and a depth of around 150 meters. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan and is constantly monitored for volcanic activity.

Vancouver is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This tectonic activity creates a high potential for seismic activity, leading to earthquakes in the region.

They do not JUST happen in Japan, but they are common there because the Japanese islands are situated right next to a very active destructive plate margin.

Yes, Korea, China, and Japan are all countries located in East Asia, which is a region within the larger continent of Asia. Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, consisting of diverse countries and cultures.

In Sri Lanka, people typically greet each other with a smile and a traditional gesture called "Ayubowan" which translates to "may you have a long life". Handshakes are also commonly used in more formal settings, especially in business and professional settings.

Right now (during daylight saving time), it would be 1 PM.

Super Bowl XLV likely starts around 8:30 AM on Monday in Japan due to the time difference between the United States and Japan.

Mount Fuji is famous for its iconic symmetrical cone shape, making it one of the most recognizable symbols of Japan. It is also the highest mountain in Japan and holds cultural and spiritual significance in Japanese society. Additionally, Mount Fuji is a popular subject in traditional Japanese arts, such as woodblock prints and poetry.

Yes, the Emperor of Japan and their family reside in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. This palace serves as the primary residence for the imperial family and is the main location for official events and ceremonies.

When it's noon CDT in Chicago, it's 2 AM JST in Japan.

When it's noon CST in Chicago, it's 3 AM JST in Japan.

Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).

Japan is far north of the equator, extending through several latitudes from the Ryukyu Islands (25° to 30° N) to the Kuril Islands (45° N).

This is about the same latitude range as from Northern Africa to France, or Florida to Maine.
