Japan earthquake and Tsunami 2011 - Shocking video An erupting volcanic island that is expanding off Japan could trigger a tsunami if its freshly-formed lava slopes collapse into the sea, scientists say. The small, but growing, island appeared last year and quickly engulfed the already-existing island of Nishinoshima, around 1000 kilometres south of Tokyo. It now covers 1.26 square kilometres. The island\'s craters are currently spewing out 200,000 cubic metres of lava every day - enough to fill 80 Olympic swimming pools - which is accumulating in its east, scientists said. \"If lava continues to mount on the eastern area, part of the island\'s slopes could collapse and cause a tsunami,\" warned Fukashi Maeno, assistant professor of the Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo. He said a rockfall of 12 million cubic metres of lava would generate a one metre tsunami that could travel faster than a bullet train, hitting the island of Chichijima - 130kms away - in around 18 minutes, he said. Chichijima, home to about 2000 people, is the largest island in the Ogasawara archipelago, a wild and remote chain that is administratively part of Tokyo. \"The ideal way to monitor and avoid a natural disaster is to set up a new tsunami and earthquake detection system near the island, but it\'s impossible for anyone to land on the island in the current situation,\" Maeno added. An official from the Japan Meteorological Agency, which monitors earthquakes and tsunamis, said the agency is watching for any signs of anything untoward. \"We studied the simulation this morning,...

일본 현장 연결, 구마모토 지진 현재 상황 Let\'s now connect with our correspondent Mayu Yoshia on the ground in Japan for the latest on the aftermath of that quake. Mayu, there were reports that the tremor was so powerful that people in the southeastern coast of Korea could feel the effects, as well. Tell us, how are things looking there? Well, the town in Kumamoto is some 1000 kilometers away from Tokyo but we\'re certainly seeing people here worrying what\'s happening in the southwest after the quakes last night. I\'m outside Tokyo Station which is a key transport hub for the whole country, right now transportation and businesses here in the capital are working as usual. but railways in the hardest-hit areas in Kumamoto Prefecture have been heavily disrupted. Some flights were also canceled. The whole country\'s been gripped by this disaster - the magnitude of the quake was much lower than the 2011 earthquake that triggered a Tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown, but the intensity was similar because it struck on land and at a much shallower depth, and more than 120 aftershocks have already been felt in the worst-hit town of Mashiki. It also occurred in the same region where Japan\'s only online nuclear plant is located, although officials say no irregularities have been confirmed and the two reactors both remain in operation. Some companies like Sony and Honda also suspended operations at their plants there. The focus now is on making sure people are safe. Tens if thousands of people have had to evacuate their homes. “I’m worried about Kumamoto, especially after what happened...

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck southern Japan early on Saturday morning, triggering a tsunami advisory. The quake\'s epicenter was near the city of Kumamoto and measured at a depth of 40 km (25 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said. The USGS minutes earlier reported a 7.1 quake with a depth of 7 km close to the same location. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami advisory, which identifies the presence of a marine threat and asks people to leave coastal regions, for the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas. Local broadcaster NHK said the advisory suggested a possible wave of one meter in height. BBC : A powerful earthquake has struck near the southern Japanese city of Kumamoto, a day after a tremor there killed at least nine people. The magnitude-7.1 quake at a depth of 10km (6 miles) hit at 01:25 on Saturday (16:25 GMT on Friday). Another report says a second quake hit later. A tsunami warning has been issued, with waves of up to 1m (3ft) possible. Japan is regularly hit by earthquakes but stringent building codes mean that they rarely cause significant damage. Thursday\'s magnitude-6.2 quake caused shaking at some places as intense as the huge earthquake that hit the country in 2011, Japan\'s seismology office said. That quake sparked a huge tsunami and nuclear meltdown at a power plant in Fukushima. Most of those who died in Thursday\'s quake were in the town of Mashiki in the Kyushu region in south-western Japan where an apartment building collapsed and many houses were damaged. More than 1,000 people were injured....

Earthquakes in Japan

Japan has had a long history of earthquakes and seismic activity.

The islands of Japan are primarily the result of several large oceanic movements occurring over hundreds of millions of years from the mid-Silurian to the Pleistocene as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.

Japan was originally attached to the eastern coast of the Eurasian continent. The subducting plates, being deeper than the Eurasian plate, pulled Japan eastward, opening the Sea of Japan around 15 million years ago. The Strait of Tartary and the Korea Strait opened much later. Today the Japanese archipelago is considered a mature island arc and is the result of several generations of subducting plates. Approximately 15,000 km of oceanic floor has passed under the Japanese area in the last 450 million years, with most being fully subducted.

Japan is situated in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Frequent low intensity earth tremors and occasional volcanic activity are felt throughout the islands. Destructive earthquakes, often resulting in tsunamis, occur several times a century.
