On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake the strongest ever recorded struck the East coast of northern Japan. It Japan triggered a massive tsunami along the Pacific Coast of northeastern Japan. As a result over 20000 people were killed and the Fukushima Daichi nuclear reactor has been severely damaged so Low-levels of radiation have been emitted.
According to Michel Chossudovsky (27 September 2004) who stated: ”The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska, has been in existence since 1992. It is part of a new generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the US Air Force Research Laboratory 's Space Vehicles Directorate, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating "controlled local modifications of the ionosphere" upper layer of the atmosphere.” The US military claim that HAARP 's main objective is to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes. Dr. Gerard Fryer explanation of Japan’s earthquake: “The surface of the Earth is in continuous slow motion. This is plate tectonics--the motion of immense rigid plates at the surface of the Earth in response to flow of rock within the Earth. The plates cover the entire surface of the globe. Since they are all moving they rub against each other in, sinking beneath each other, or spread apart from each other. At such places the motion isn 't smooth--the plates are stuck together at the edges but the rest of each plate is continuing to move, so the rocks along the edges are distorted. As the motion continues, the strain builds up to the

    The theory of plate tectonics explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates, and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which the plates converge, diverge or move past each other. These plates are either continental or oceanic and are powered by convection currents, which is the circular movement of magma that comes from within the mantle. These currents are powered by the core, which heats the magma, causing it to rise, cool and fall back down. This circular motion causes the plates, which float on the mantle, to move.…

    Earthquakes are an example of seismic activity caused by the build-up of tension at the three types of plate boundaries: destructive, constructive and conservative. The pressure is suddenly released as the plates jerk past each other, sending out seismic waves from the focus that travel through different parts of the earth. The movement of convection currents within the Earth’s mantle causing the crust to become mobile which creates the different types plate margins, makes the cause due to physical factors. However human activity is suggested to be the cause of some minor earthquakes, for instance the building of large reservoirs where the water stresses the surface rocks or the subsidence of deep mine workings.…

    Of all the naturally occurring events on Earth, earthquakes are among the most devastating and bring a lot of truth to the statement, “Just because something is natural does not mean it is not dangerous.” Earthquakes are one of the most natural things I can think of that can cause massive damage and loss of human live in many instances, and the effects are sometimes long term. “Nothing happens without a force. Many geophysicists accept the theory that continents move as a result of the forces generated by mantel convection deep within Earth – motions driven by our planet’s internal heat energy” (Trefil & Hazen, 2010). According to National Geographic (1996-2012), constant movement in the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust causes an earthquake. The constant nature of this movement causes a buildup of energy, which is stored in rocks at fault lines. The stored energy is eventually released and a sudden, rapid shaking of the Earth is the result. “An Earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another” (Wald, 2009). An event cannot be more natural than the Earth itself actually causing it.…

    It gave me a really good idea on how the space environment can affect our communication system. We understand that space environment will cause damages to the satellites and this paper demonstrates the conditions that might lead to the similar kind of events and the magnitude of damages it can cause. It also showed how different data can used to describe the overall picture of the space environment; particularly, how they used the use of Pc5 data to provide evidence of the ULF mechanism in accelerating the electrons.…

    In 2011, March 11th a megathrust earthquake occurred at Japan. The earthquake created a tsunami which hit. Both these disasters caused severe and extensive damage. Towns were ripped apart by having houses flooded, broken down, and in the ocean. The transportations were badly affected and cars were everywhere in the wrong place. People had died from the tsunami causing an overwhelming number of deaths. After both the earthquake and tsunami there were people who were homeless. Those people had lost everything except their life from these disasters.…

    As a member of the government Disaster Management Task Force, a geographical report has been required to be written which analyses the impact of two natural disasters and evaluates which was the most severe. The two chosen natural disasters includes the 2011 Japanese tsunami/earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Disaster 1 – Japanese Tsunami and Earthquake On Friday the 11th of March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 Earthquake struck coastal waters, along a subduction zone, surrounding Japanese islands. At the time of the Earthquake, no one expected what was about to occur, one of the most devastating tsunamis to have ever hit Japan.…

    In March 2011, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake hit the pacific coast of Japan, generating up to 133ft tall tsunami waves, which obliterated everything up to 6 mi. inland. According to the NPA (National Police Agency) of Japan, 24, 656 people were affected by this catastrophe, which include the deceased, injured, and missing. The tsunami also affected three of the six nuclear reactors of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant causing leakage of radioactive material. Many workers and even civilians worked hard to contain the harmful material for it to stop contamination in other areas, but it already spread. A The Associated Press news writer states, “The massive amount of radioactive water is among the most pressing…

    The first of these occurred in the Indian Ocean Tsunami on December 26, 2004. According to the U.S. Geologic Survey, that tsunami was caused by a megathrust earthquake on “on the interface of the India and Burma plates and was cause by the release of stresses that develop as the India plate subducts beneath the overriding Burma plate” (USGS). National Geographic reported that the magnitude 9.0 earthquake generated as much energy as “23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs” (NatGeo). This tectonic event caused tsunami waves that traveled thousands of miles, impacted 11 countries on the Indian Ocean and killed more than 250,000 people. One of the primary contributors to the tsunami death toll was a complete lack of any tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean. In an article written shortly after the tsunami Waverly Person from the U.S. Geology Survey explained that, in addition to the lack of any sort of warning systems was the inexperience of the inhabitants in the affected countries which caused the staggering death toll. The inhabitants had never learned any of the warning signs, like a swiftly receding shoreline, because Indian Ocean tsunamis are very rare. In the years that have…
