What we know! The earth quake was a 8.9 Missouri hasn't ever had a earthquake! Japan has technology that turns earthquake shock waves into thermal energy to heat up their buildings. The earthquake was actually in the ocean not on land. A tsunami wiped out most of the Japanese land and houses. We don't have an earthquake drill. (We do but just don't use it as much as Japan does.) Missouri can have earthquakes. There was an earthquake in the ocean near Japan. We can't have tsunamis in Missouri because we are not near the ocean. An earthquake triggered the tsunami in Japan. [|Google Maps] [|Google][|Google Maps] [|Google Maps] Thousands are dead and hundreds are missing. New Madrid Fault line is in Missouri. Ritcher Scale is from 1 to 10. 10 being the highest. Salton Sea is the major crossroad of all fault lines. You can see a fault line from the air. San Andreas fault is the largest fault in the world. The longer the fault line, the larger the earthquake. Convergent earthquakes are the most powerful. Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes. Tension earthquakes happen mostly under water. Little earthquakes happen all the time. Los Angeles and San Fransisco have really bad quakes. Scientist predict one big earthquake each decade. pics

What we need to know! Q: What caused it to be so powerful? A:It was an 8.9 earthquake that caused a big tsunami Q: Are we structurally built to handle an earthquake? A: See above link. Q: Can missouri even have a earthquake? A: Yes, the boot heel of Missouri is on the New Madrid fault line. Q: Dose Japan have tsunami drills? A: Yes. Q: How bad are the nuclear spills? A: Very very bad. Q: What are the chances of parts of the west coast of America getting "rads"? A: [|If the reactors fail, probable]. Q: What causes us in Missouri to have an earthquake? A:[| Little things under ground called Plate tectonics].  Q: What are the layers of the Earth? A: [|See link]. are missouri's earthquakes different than japans? Q: Will helping japan clean up lower or rid our financial debt from japan and possible other places? A: More than likely no Q: If we have a earthquake would we be prepared? A: [|It's a '50 50' chance of yes or no.] Q: How is japan so prepared for earthquakes? A: [|Watch this.] Q: How did japan prapear their buildings for an earthquake? Q: When will an earthquake occur in Missouri?
