The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake still leaves new readings. More than a decade later, the data suggest that Japan was able to move between 5 and 6 millimetres along a seismic wave that traveled to the depths of the Earth and returned. We speak of a magnitude 9.1 earthquake, one of the most powerful recorded, which caused a devastating tsunami and the nuclear crisis in Fukushima, leaving a total of 15,859 dead, 2,556 missing and 6,152 injured.

In 2011, Japan reeled from the effects of a devastating magnitude 9.0 earthquake. But unnoticed in the chaos resulting from the quake, its major aftershocks and the tsunami it caused, something strange happened. About 16 minutes after the earthquake, but before the aftershocks hit, Japan's GPS stations registered an eastward lurch — across the entire country — but unconnected to any specific quake or aftershock. A new analysis of data from the q…
A Wave From Earth's Core Moved All Of Japan 13 Minutes After The 2011 Megaquake
Every Global Navigation Satellite System receiver in Japan recorded the same eastward jolt inside the same 40 seconds, roughly 13 minutes after the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake struck on 11 March 2011. The shift measured up to six millimetres in the worst-affected zones and never came back. More than 1,200 ground stations strung from Hokkaido […] The post A Wave From Earth’s Core Moved All Of Japan 13 Minutes After The 2011 Megaquake appe…
