Question

Which of the following are true about the 2011 Japan Earthquake A. The Japan earthquake produced a large tsunami that was predicted almost exactly by the early warning systems. B. It slipped on a large surface area on the subduction thrust fault interface and this slip area encompassed several past earthquake slip patches that involved magnitude 8.0 events. No known historic earthquake showed this amount of slip within the Japan trench and it was therefore completely unexpected. Tsunami depost records, however, indicated that there was a likely similar sized earthquake about 1000 years ago in this same area. C. It slipped over a medium sized area that was similar to past events. D. The Japan earthquake was the largest earthquake of all time.

Answer 1

The effects of the great earthquake were felt around the world, from Norway's fjords to Antarctica's ice sheet. Tsunami debris has continued to wash up on North American beaches years later. Residents of Tokyo received a minute of warning before the strong shaking hit the city, thanks to Japan's earthquake early warning system.
