What we Know : - 8.9 quake. - Japan is an island. - Japan uses buildings that absorb shockwaves. - Missouri can have tornadoes, floods, and Quakes. - Some Earthquakes happen under our feet and we don't even realize it. - They provide a lot of our electronics. - They provide Toyota. - Something went wrong with a nuclear reactor and it's spewing radiation all over. - there are three types of fault lines. (transform, divergent, convergent) Mountain- Convergent boundry Divergent- When the plates move away from each other. Convergent- When plates push against each other. rift valley- Divergent boundry Transform- When plates scrape against each other.
 * Questions .............................................................. || Answer............................................................... ||
 * 1)- Where did the Quake start? || Near the east coast of Honshu, Japan ||
 * 2)- Where did the tsunami start? || -In the ocean near japan ||
 * 3)- How many died? || About 6,000 people. 10,259 reported missing ||
 * 4)- When did the Quake happen? || March 11, 2011 ||
 * 5)- What Measures the size of the Quake? || 8.9 on the Rictor Scale ||
 * 6)- Is it possible the radiation could spread to the USA? || Yes, but it would be very diluted ||
 * 7)- How did japan try and prepare for this event? || They made a wall so that if there was a Tsunami that it will somewhat protect them ||
 * 8)- What was the total damage, money wise? || 3 Trillion ||
 * 9)- How is a Tsunami formed? || They are usually caused by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, etc. They cause the waves to rise and become a Tsunami. ||
 * 10)- How long will it take to clean up this mess? || Hard work non-stop about 5 years ||
 * 11)- What is the biggest earthquake? How much bigger is it than the one in Japan? || The Great Chilean Quake (9.5 on the Rictor Scale). So it's about 0.6 points bigger than the Japanese quake. The biggest tsunami was a tsunami in alaska that was 1720 ||
 * 12)- How long will it take to rebuild? || 3 years+. Can be sped up with foreign help. ||
 * 13)- What will Japan do to better there country if this happens again? || It might not happen for a while, so they might have furthered their anti-earthquake technology by then. ||
 * 14)- What can Missouri do to prepare for a earthquake? || Make sure that all appliances are attached to something so that they don't move. Put flexible pipes in your home. ||
 * 15)- Besides shock absorber buildings, what else did japan use to absorb theshock? || They didn't just use shock absorbers for the buildings, they used them for bridges, highways, etc. They used other things too, such as the counterweight system for the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. ||
 * 16)- What are the fault line types? What happens along them? || Transform, divergent, convergent, subduction zone. Volcanoes, mountains, rift valleys, trench, mid ocean ridges, and island arcs. ||
 * 17)- When you look at the picture below what do you think that we can do for a shelter ifwe need one? || a building that is structural sound and is easy to clean up and has no mold ||
 * 18)- What has America done to prepare for an earthquake? || we have building that will still be standing after a earthquake ||

volcano- convergent boundry

trench- convergent

island arcs- transform boundry

mid ocean ridges- divergent boundry This is a picture of an shelter in japan. Using what happened in Japan, how can we help improve Missouri's emergency preparedness in the event of a geologic disaster?

1) I think that we can make then tall buildings more flexible so that they could absorb the shock of an earthquake. Or wecould make a emergency shelter for every community. I think since we haven't had a quake in so long that we are very well do for one. So we should test our buildings in labs for quakes and go from there then we can make sure we a at least one bomb shelter/emergency shelter like we said and we could also start a agency in each town that could possibly have these and have inspectors to test our structures of new buildings and tell us if or when we'll have one. That way we can have the knowledge from professionals about the movement of the mantles layers and the plates that cause these terrible events. We will then become safe from quakes and be able to give our knowledge and support to the other countries and states and be able to continue and grow off that. Just edit and add to this answer. ^

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110315160137AAygKPo I was watching the news about an hour ago. They compared this crises to a previous one (much smaller) and Japan took three years to recover from that. So this is looking like it will be anywhere 3+ years. With the help of foreign aid it's hoping to speed up the process.  Keep watching the news every night, it's all that is being talked about.

Resources: For Q 14 http://www.quakekare.com/earthquake.html Our __[|Home Earthquake Survival Kits] __ support 4 people for 3 days with a 3 day supply of US Coast Guard approved emergency food and water which are guaranteed to store safely for 5 years - even in extreme weather. Our home earthquake kits also contain all the emergency shelter, sanitation, first aid, lighting, and communication supplies necessary to prepare for a major earthquake. Its waterproof and air-tight container ensures your earthquake supplies will store safely. The kit's container enables it to be used with the sanitation supplies included or used to purify water with the water purification tablets also included.

THis is what you get for an emergency.

Get an [|Emergency Supply Kit], which includes items like non-perishable food, water, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, extra flashlights and batteries. You may want to prepare a portable kit and keep it in your car. This kit should include:
 * Copies of prescription medications and medical supplies;
 * Bedding and clothing, including sleeping bags and pillows;
 * Bottled water, a battery-operated radio and extra batteries, a first aid kit, a flashlight;
 * Copies of important documents: driver’s license, Social Security card, proof of residence, insurance policies, wills, deeds, birth and marriage certificates, tax records, etc.
