The Massive Earthquake - Tsunami Japan 2011 | Most shocking on Camera : 25.000 people were died The 2011 Tohoku earthquake struck offshore of Japan, along a subduction zone where two of Earth's tectonic plates collide. In a subduction zone, one plate slides beneath another into the mantle, the hotter layer beneath the crust. The great plates are rough and stick together, building up energy that is released as earthquakes. East of Japan, the Pacific plate dives beneath the overriding Eurasian plate. The temblor completely released centuries of built up stress between the two tectonic plates, a recent study found. The March 11 earthquake started on a Friday at 2:46 p.m. local time (5:46 a.m. UTC). It was centered on the seafloor 45 miles (72 kilometers) east of Tohoku, at a depth of 15 miles (24 km) below the surface. The shaking lasted about six minutes. [Infographic: How Japan's 2011 Earthquake Happened] Scientists drilled into the subduction zone soon after the earthquake and discovered a thin, slippery clay layer lining the fault. The researchers think that this clay layer allowed the two plates to slide an incredible distance, some 164 feet (50 meters), facilitating the enormous earthquake and tsunami.

The people who stay in traffic in their cars??! Get to the top of the near by concrete buildings. That is where you hope of survival is and many trees can withstand the force of tsunami's if there is no other alternative for survival I would take my chances climbing the nearest and strongest looking tree. Concrete buildings are where it's at though. Get out if your cars people! 😢

A WORST OF ITS KIND, NATURE FLOWS OVER THE MASSES TURNING EVERYTHING AS A FLOATING BODY. THE ROOTS OF THIS NATURAL CALAMITY SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND FOUND OUT. EARTH QUAKE MAY NOT BE THE TRUE ROOT OF TSUNAMI.
