Japan Earthquake Changes Earth's Axis


- The massive earthquake that hit Japan was so powerful that it changed the shape of the country's coastline and shifted the earth's axis.
- 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.
- Such mighty forces would have moved an immense amount of water, sending it cascading out in waves sweeping across the ocean at 500mph
-That quake was spread over a fault of 620 miles and the sea floor was raised 33 feet.

I will find moer about how was it effect the sea grass!
