This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Global bathymetry map image released on March 11, 2011 shows features of the ocean floor depth (or bathymetry) from NOAA s ETOPO-1 dataset. The image shows the entire Western Pacific basin. Notice how abruptly the Japanese islands rise out of the ocean. Other coastal Asian areas have much more gradual slopes. The islands and mountain ranges throughout the ocean, visible in this imagery, also affect the tsunami travel time and speed. In the open ocean, tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 800 kph.

If the Earth’s axis has shifted, I imagine that might impact global warming in one direction or another.

‘St Louis, Missouri media outlets report that city has moved an inch as a result of the quake.’

Earth’s axis has reportedly shifted ten inches as a result of the quake, and Japan’s coast is said to have permanently shifted 2.4 metres.
You would think this type of event would have an impact on climates worldwide...

Ok, question for today: How long will it take for Japan to rebuild? Will it be before New Orleans is rebuilt? Or Detroit? Just asking !!

Every time I write about a physical pole shift I am ridiculed. Well, perhaps not ridiculed. More like ignored.
But, as these things move massive amounts of mass and weight, one has to wonder if there is a tipping point at some time.
And then a couple of meters would be more like a few hundred kilometers.

Doesn’t that mean an issue with GPS alignment? Perhaps that is the answer to St Louis reportedly moving ... someone is looking at a precise GPS measurement and the answer is one inch different than before.
