Effects on the Economy of Japan

Effects on the Economy of Japan

the crisis at damaged nuclear plants north of Tokyo was threatening to cause an energy squeeze that could set back all

sectors of Japan’s economy.

Toyota nissan and honda were closed

They fear suffering another rescession

GPS SensorsGPS Sensors

One interesting fact about this earthquake is that it moved several GPS sensors. This will require all of the GPS have to be reset because japan has been shifted

How does elastic rebound explain this movement?

Because the earthquake hit so hard it moved Japan

TsunamisTsunamis What is a tsunami?I huge wave, normally triggered by an earthquake

How do tsunami waves appear at sea?Because if the earth quake hits hard enough the

ocean get rough and it goes over anything in it’s way

How high can tsunami waves be?Over 40 feet!

How fast can tsunami waves move?More than 500 miles per hour!
