When the magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake struck off the coast of Japan in 2011, its seismic shivers did more than ripple through the planet.

An extremely unusual tectonic movement took place 15 minutes after the Tohoku earthquake in 2011, causing almost the whole of Japan to move 5 millimetres to the east

When the magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake struck off the coast of Japan in 2011, its seismic shivers did more than ripple through the planet.

Researchers discovered an unusual, nationwide shift when examining GPS records of the Tohoku earthquake.

This “extraordinary” event was likely caused by seismic waves bouncing off Earth’s core, researchers found

2011年の東日本大震災の際に、地球内部の核で反射した地震波が引き金となって、5ミリ程度の東向きの地殻変動が日本全国で起こったとアメリカの研究チームが解析した。こうした地震波が、地震リスクを高める新…

Este movimiento sísmico es uno de los desastres naturales más estudiados. Los científicos buscan pistas sobre cómo se desarrollan y qué sucede después.
