Japanise stock market? || It actually had little affect on the global stock market. The 1995 earthquake had a bigger affect. This seemed as though they already had a plan in such emergency.  Today as at a high and relief was with them.  A Spike did happen at a 40%  Now you ca see how it was affected but they will manage. || what are faults? what causes an earthquake? what are p waves and s waves? what happened on March 11th 2011 in Japan? || Faults are ruptures in the earth where plates have rubbed together.

 * Lia W. || //liaw1// || How do the Japanese buildings move with some of the earthquakes? || They have a thing called a Mass Damper. Its a weight placed on the roof of a building. Its motion sensors will detect the movement during a earthquake. The machine will send a message to a computer telling the Mass Damper to counteract with the building movement. ||

Earthquakes occur when pressure forms because of plates trying to move.

p-waves and s- waves are primary waves of energy and secondary bursts of energy.

A magnitude 8.9 earthquake rocked Japan at 2:46 p.m. local time. It struck about 15 miles below ground near Sendai, Japan It was an 8.8 or 8.9 magnitude quake, lasting about 33 minutes. Because the eathquake occurred beneath the ocean, a tsunami was triggered. Waves as high as 35 feet were reported in several Northern regions.

 8,649 people are confirmed dead and more than 21,911 people are still missing. That number is expected to rise.

Most of Missouri's earthquake activity has been concentrated in the southeast corner of the State, which lies within the New Madrid seismic zone. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/missouri/history.php || ===[|Recent earthquakes near Missouri] === || > || || Time || || Magnitude || || Location || > || 1 hour ago || || 4.2 || || Arkansas || || [|Map] || > || 13 hours ago || || 3.2 || || Arkansas || || [|Map] || > || 17 hours ago || || 3.9 || || Arkansas || || [|Map] || > earthquake.usgs.gov

A local news report said at least 15 people were killed. The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake was followed by at least 19 aftershocks, most of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Dozens of cities and villages along the 2,100-kilometer stretch of the country's eastern shore were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter in the sea off the northeastern coast. <span style="display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;">March 11, 2011 http://mdn.mainichi.jp/photospecials/graph/earthquake/ <span style="color: #0000cc; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps]

<span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Small earthquakes and tremors occur frequently in Missouri. Thousands of quakes have been noted in the state since 1795 and have been recorded since 1908. In recent times, earthquakes have been known to rock tall buildings and crack plaster in Missouri homes. Most were accompanied by numerous aftershocks, which are a series of successive quakes that can cause more damage than the initial shock.http://www.dnr.mo.gov/geology/geosrv/geores/historymoeqs.htm

<span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;"> A recent disaster is the Fukashimi Nuclear Power plant in Okuma. The engines powering the cooling system for the reactors failed after the earthquake, causing the nuclear core to heat up and pressurize. It finally gave out late yesterday (Japanese time). Residents within a 20 mile radius of the plant are being evacuated and given iodine tablets (which stop the absorption of radioactivity to some degree).

 * Michael D. || //michael.123// ||  || Why was the deaths different in Haiti than japan? || In haiti around 300,000 people died during the 2010 earthquake and during the 2011 earthquake in japan around 9,000 people died because japan has regular earthquake drills and when the earthquake happened they knew what to do and they were prepared for the worst and haiti does'nt and they didn't know what to do so many of them died. ||
