Let's pray for Japan and also for the other countries....

Lets hope that boat had no people in it.

Glad there's no tsunami warning for Taiwan.

Hoorah. At least my family/friends back in Taiwan should be safe for now.

Such a horrific day for the Japanese though, I hope their country makes a quick recovery after this.

All jokes aside...I think this is the starting of a chain of disasters..An Earthquake of that effect has to have disturbed the plates alot...which can cause a strong ripple effect so to speak, on other plates.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

still waiting for it to either happen or not here. towns pretty empty.

A little, but I don't actually think it would that much. These are huge plates we're talking about--water conducts very differently from lithosphere.

But, I'm not sure of the effects of such a large tremor would be on magma--in theory it could allow more to seep out, at least to give it the chance, but that would only be if the quake damages some crust. Earthquakes are usually caused by subducting plates, where "wet" lithosphere crust get submerged and put under a bunch of chemical reaction and internal pressure.

But the plates, if Plate Tectonics is true, would affect each other minimally, mostly only adjacent ones. But the plates would mostly slide together, if memory serves.

But I'm not a Geologic scholar

Yes, you have a right to feel 'excited', but if a tsunami does hit a country, it means innocent people die.

You're quite the Adrenaline junkie aren't you, you should come to tornado alley in the midwest in the Summer and start storm chasing.

You haven't learned from Ondoy yes?

 

[Coto]

Here in Chile was 8.5 =/

And now we expect a tsunami to come now =/

And so far in Japan there are like 60 post- tremors

 

[Warrior522]

Well, Kubo and Kojima are safe... But where the crap are the others? Miyamoto? Oda? Anyone have any ideas about how we might be able to figure out where they are?

Quite low for earthquake standards in Japan, there were twice as many after the 1995 earthquake. You may want to go to higher ground if you live on the coast.

 

[MeritsAlone]

Its news like this that makes me really sad T.T
R.I.P Whoever died during this.

 

[Deleted_171835]

My condolences to all those who live in Japan or have relatives in Japan.
This earthquake is quite powerful at magnitude 8.9.

 

[nryn99]

unfortunately for my hype. but fortunately for my life. i live down south. we have mount apo covering us from storms.

 

[ZaeZae64]

I hope most people in Japan are allright.
And my condolences to anyone that died. This is just downright awful.
