Rebuilding in the aftermath of the destruction could take five years, according to the report, released Monday in Singapore. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/21/world/la-fgw-japan-quake-world-bank-20110322 ||
 * Name || What You Found ||
 * Ben || A key to the designing of large buildings such as skyscrapers is to make them flexible. The atoms of the materials be packed together and also rubbery in a way to achieve this. This is exactly how the St. Louis Arc was built and why it still stands. ||
 * Rachel || SEMA has developed a multifaceted earthquake program designed to carry out earthquake awareness and preparedness programs; Work with partners to promote earthquake loss-reduction plans, practices and policies that encourage earthquake mitigation; And develop better response and recovery capabilities through participation in earthquake training and exercises. http://sema.dps.mo.gov/EQ.htm
 * Doshanique || Japan’s earthquake hazard map indicates the most danger to be along the coast of southern Japan, but the recent earthquake – the largest in Japan’s recorded history – ruptured along Japan’s northern shore. http://munews.missouri.edu/expert-comment/2011/0314-for-expert-comment-university-of-missouri-researcher-says-japan-earthquake-system-different-than-new-madrid-earthquake-system/ ||
 * Joseph || The Pacific plate thrusted under the north american plate. Northern Japan sits on the western tip of the north american plate. The upward movement of the plates released large amounts of energy, and displaced tons of water causing the tsunami. The heat from the convection currents makes the plates move easier. ||
 * Emily || An aftershock is actually just a normal earthquake in every physical detail. Out of context, there is no way to tell the difference between any arbitrary earthquake and an "aftershock". The only real difference between the two is that an aftershock follows closely in the wake of a larger earthquake, and in roughly the same location as its predecessor. That larger, initial earthquake is usually referred to as the "main shock".

 * Doshanique || We don't know when the next big earthquake will hit Missouri, but we've got to be ready when it does. ||
 * Deonte' || It would take 10 years minimum for japan to recover ||
 * Caleb || It would have to be tall and to stop flooding it would have to be somewhat far from the coast. ||

How long will it take Japan to recover? || How is Japan prepared? ||
 * Name || What question your are researching ||
 * Joseph || What caused the earthquake in Japan? ||
 * Emily || Why are some earthquakes more affective than others? ||
 * Ben || How can we make buildings withstand large earthquakes to avoid total disaster. ||
 * Josh || How could they make the city better to withstand the tsunami? ||
 * Rachel || What is Missouri's disaster plan?
 * Doshanique || Are the earthquakes that occur in Japan different from the ones that could occur in Missouri? ||
 * Doshanique || How will Missouri know when to be ready for an earthquake? ||
 * Emily || How can you tell the difference between an earthquake and an aftershock? ||
 * Rachel || What is Japan's disaster drill?
 * Caleb || How tall should a tsunami wall be and how far should it be placed away from the ocean? ||
