(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).

Kατάσταση εκτάκτου ανάγκης στην Καλιφόρνια από το τσουνάμι του σεισμού.
Κατά τ' άλλα η ανθρωπογενής υπερθέρμανση που λέγαμε, o ανθρωπογενής σεισμός κ.λ.π.
Το CO2 ευθύνεται.2012, λες ;
Άλλο θέμα: το αιολικό λόμπυ θα λυσσάξει τώρα ως προς την πυρηνική ανασφάλεια.
ακούστηκε ΚΑΙ αυτό. Είπαμε... αν η ηλιθιότητα είχε φτερά, θα είμαστε όλοι σε αερδοδρόμιο
