Strong 6.9-magnitude quake hits northern Japan, tsunami advisory cancelled
Euronews ^ | 11/11

The quake that hit northern Japan on Sunday caused temporary power outages and train delays. No injuries or damage were reported, and a tsunami advisory was cancelled. A powerful 6.9 magnitude quake rattled northern Japan Sunday evening, followed by several aftershocks, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

A tsunami advisory was issued, but it was later cancelled. Waves measuring 20 centimetres were recorded in some areas.

The earthquake hit off the coast of Iwate prefecture at a depth of 10 kilometres below the sea surface, at about 5 pm Japan time (9 am CET).

There were no immediate reports of injuries, damage, or issues at the two nuclear power plants in the area.

A tsunami of up to 1 metre was expected along the northern coast, and the advisory remained in place for an hour after the initial quake.

Bullet trains in the area were temporarily delayed, according to the JR East railway operator. The quakes had also caused power shortages, local news reports said.

Operations were temporarily suspended between Sendai and Shin-Aomori train stations as the Tohoku Shinkansen briefly lost power, according to East Japan Railway.

Powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake in Japan triggers tsunami warning A JMA official said at a news conference Sunday evening that similar or stronger earthquakes could occur in the next few days.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi urged people to move away from the coast and remain on alert for aftershocks and tsunami waves that could hit the area in a message on social media.

Tsunami waves that follow earthquakes can persist for a few hours after the quake and may grow larger over time. More tremors, possibly aftershocks, continued in Iwate Prefecture, according to reports.

The continental drift theory does not explain these quakes in Japan.

The world is simply expanding over time, like a slowly inflating balloon. Its been going on for about 73 million years.

Glad all are safe in Japan.

It’s not a scientific method, but when NHK World goes wall to wall, I know it’s a bad disaster, and when it only gets mention on the newscast, it isn’t. This earthquake didn’t get wall to wall coverage. Nevertheless, what is “normal” in Japan would be scary in many other locations.

In 1958 Charles Hapgood proposed that mass imbalances created by a buildup of polar ice could displace the earth’s crust over the mantle and that resulting pole shifts were the cause of catastrophic climate changes and ice ages. We contrast the first part of his theory with plate tectonics and true polar wander and propose a new mechanism that is triggered by short-term reversals of the geomagnetic field that “unlock” the crust from the mantle, driven by earth–moon–sun tidal forces, the same forces that move earth’s oceans. It is shown that by combining a modified version of the second part of Hapgood’s theory with elements of existing climate theories it may be possible to account for periodic sea-level changes associated with the buildup and melting of polar ice over past glacial cycles with a combination of Milanković cycles and Hapgood pole shifts

You old heretic you, even with the evidence in front of their eyes, they won’t believe you.
I have a selection of images that will illustrate the theory. Sending by email

USGS has downgraded a bit to 6.8. They are having hefty aftershocks at 5.5, 5.9, 6.4, 5.7, 6.0.

Fred Nerks, can you send those images to me, as well, please?

“ The continental drift theory does not explain these quakes in Japan.”

Sure, it does. Japan, along with Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and Chile are classic subduction zones where deep trenches are opposite volcanic ranges. That shows movement of large plates, which is backed up by paleogeology.

The article you referred to just explains the fragmentation of plate boundaries.

Loosen Up.

Paradigm shifts are always difficult.
