Earth shifted its axis? WOW--that is huge.
Thanks for that info.
There was also a shift mentioned when the earthquake hit Peru.
Wonder how much that will effect us?
why is this in the political and social forums?
maybe education and science forum would be better?
Yeah I had read that one too. I also learned that we lost a second or two from the day because of the severity of the quake. I live in earthquake country too and have been through my fair share of them. But I cannot even begin to wrap my head around an 8.9.
Tokyo Population - over 12 million, or about 10 percent of Japan's population, Tokyo is by far the country's most populous and most densely populated
I don't want to even imagine, if that nuke blows
Pray pray pray. It's cold in Japan right now. I don't think most Japanese people have enough space to really stock up of things.

I have been following the news closely. This is unimaginably huge. I feel for the people dealing with this horrific catastrophe.
Last year's powerful Chilean earthquake also shifted the earth's axis which resulted in a shortened length of day due to the increased speed of rotation of the Earth's axis. I'm assuming the same has occurred with this earthquake.

What an admirable people the Japanese are. Their quiet, patient demeanor as they wait in blocks long lines to get the few groceries that are available really makes me weep. My heart just goes out to those people. God bless them.http://www.theaustralian.com.au/bundle- …...

I have heard on the news that the earthquake was so powerful that it changed the earth's rotation and axis by a small degree. I heard a similar story about the Indonesian earthquake.Does anyone know:1. what is the cumulative effect of both earthquakes on the length of the day and the earth's axis...

I know many Hubbers continue to be shocked at the massive level Nine (9) Earthquake that has befell Japan with the accompanying Apocalyptic Tsunami that followed. I know you want to help with a few dollars. I have put a link on my profile page to the right place.
