It was the largest tsunami to ever hit Japan. Officially, there have been 15,894 deaths and 6,157 injuries. 2,529 people went missing. The waves, which reached 23 feet, traveled at 700 kilometers an hour and 10 kilometers inland. They severely damaged 3 nuclear reactors in Fukushima, which melted down. Everybody within a 20 kilometer radius had to evacuate. ]]> 2020-03-11 21:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/458749641 3040533 https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/458749853 Earthquake: Off the northeastern coast of Japan, 38.3 degrees North, 142.4 degrees East, 30 kilometers below the West Pacific's ocean floor.
The ensuing tsunami hit off the coast of Honshu.]]> 2020-03-11 21:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/458749853 391773 https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/459382602 Cause:
The cause of the tsunami was a earthquake in the ocean. There was a subduction zone which is when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate. In this case, the subduction zone had a huge amount of thrust which is enough to produce a huge tsunami that can  cause flooding and 
impact stuff on land like buildings, boats, people, etc. More scientific information in "Facts and Data"
Effect:
When the tsunami emerged, the tsunami came on land which caused flooding and building destruction. This also affects the way people live like homes getting destroyed, shortage of goods and death. ]]> 2020-03-12 17:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/459382602 391773 https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/459399160 When the tsunami came on land, it caused a lot of damages. one of the damages are buildings collapsing. The tsunami was powerful enough to destroy buildings because the tsunami traveled 700 kilometers per hour which is half of the speed of a cruising aircraft on ground speed. It also impacted powerlines which can cause power outages.The cost for the damage was about 360 billion in us dollars. There is was also a lot of death with the fatality rate more than 15,000.

The hydrosphere is the tsunami because it is the ocean that is being affected during the earthquake. The geosphere is the earthquake because that is what caused the tsunami. The Biosphere are the people and animals because the tsunami kills people and animals by drowning, power lines, buildings collapsing, etc.

They also installed a tsunami warning systems to let people know if there is a tsunami occurring. Another small benefit was that fishermen who lost their jobs could develop a new income by cultivating wakame seaweed. What scientists learned about the tsunami is that because the earthquake was really powerful that the earth shifted on its axis. The earth now moves a bit faster with a shortened day by 1.8 microseconds. ]]> 2020-04-15 00:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/507492035 391773 https://padlet.com/3040533/q2f8nafu3jyj/wish/509534033 Przyborski, Paul.
