Japan Earthquake Alters Coast Line and Changes Earth's Axis

Japan Earthquake Alters Coast Line, Changes Earth's Axis
The massive earthquake that hit Japan on Friday was so powerful that it changed the shape of the country's coastline and shifted the earth's axis.

Geophysicist Kenneth Hudnut, who works for the U.S. Geological Survey, told CNN that the quake moved part of Japan's land mass by nearly 2.5 meters.

Experts say that the huge shake, caused by a shift in the tectonic plates deep underwater, also threw the earth off its axis point by at least 8 centimeters.

Thousands of people were unaccounted for in Japan on Saturday, a day after the 8.9 earthquake shook the country and giant tsunami waves crashed 10 kilometers inland in the northeast.

All the money I make from these videos (Which I've made a couple hundred dollars!) will be donated. So yea, I am donating. What have you done, MrWelsh2000? What have you done besides insult someone thats helping other people out?

"A new report says Japan's tsunami-ravaged nuclear plant was so unprepared for the disaster that workers had to bring protective gear and instruction manuals from elsewhere and borrow equipment from a contractor. The report, released by operator Tokyo Electric Co, is based on interviews of workers and plant data. It portrays chaos in a desperate and ultimately unsuccessful battle to protect the Fukushima plant from meltdown, and shows that workers struggled with unfamiliar equipment." ap.org/

@ 1:02 you're saying me being intelligent is hard to grasp? That's somewhat presumptuous!

Your such a selfish git you need to go and grow a pair of balls before you start insulting other people because they are making a better impact than you ever could!

8 centimeters is 3.15 inches, thats a big quake

[marcs678]

8 centimeters is 3.15 inches. anyone who paid attention in physics knows that that is a lot for the earth to move and makes a significant difference
