The destroyed power plants are giving off radiation into the air.

The earthquake knocked the Earth 8 inches off its axis and moved Japan 8 feet.

Earthquakes are measured by the moment magnitude scale. (The Richter Scale is now obsolete.)

Earthquakes are caused by the seismic waves produced from the movement of tectonic plates. Earthquakes start on falut lines. Longer faluts mean bigger earthquakes there are 3 different types of earthquakes.

The Earth has millions of tremors every year. The tectonic plates are moved by gravity and convection due to the core heating the center of the Earth. The earthquakes can travel as fast as 2 miles per second. Earthquakes move in primary and secondary waves. Cities like Los Angeles are especially vulnerable to earthquakes because they are built on soft sedimentary rocks. Experts are averaging the time between major earthquakes in history to predict the next ones. There are three types of plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries (when plates move away from each other), Convergent boundaries (when plates collide), and Transform fault (when plates move past one another). || * is the affect of the earthquake going to change the popuation in missouri. objective 3 http://www.disastercenter.com/guide/earth.html
 * Why would missouri have an earthquake just because japan did? ||

Guess what... Missouri has some preparations for geologic disasters:

In the wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan, nuclear power plants in other parts of the world are scrambling to secure their sites. The closest plant to St. Louis is the Callaway Nuclear Plant near Fulton, which is about 2 hours from downtown St. Louis. If the New Madrid Fault triggered a major earthquake near here, Ameren Missouri says they have a plan in place to avoid disaster. In fact, officials are confident when they say what is happening in Japan will not happen here. Because we only live a few hundred miles from the New Madrid Fault, though, Missourians should take note of the disaster. In Japan right now, crews are using sea water to cool reactors. The massive amount of water needed for the cooling system at Callaway comes from the Missouri River just a few miles away. Ameren says they have taken extra precautions to avoid the problems an earthquake could cause. <span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-origin: initial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“We have <span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-origin: initial; color: #ff0006; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">backup emergency diesel generators to supply emergency power, w e have <span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-origin: initial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> backup cooling water sources for emergency cooling water , and multiple ways we can<span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-origin: initial; color: #01c101; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> safely shut the plant down in the event of natural disaster,” Rick Eastman of Ameren Missouri said. <span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-origin: initial; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-origin: initial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Callaway Plant also has equipment to detect movement of the earth.<span style="background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; background-origin: initial; color: #2e00ff; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> **Ameren will automatically shut the plant down if an earthquake is detected.**
