The Kawauchi nuclear power plant in Kagoshima prefecture, which is said to have been built on the active fault, is considered to be the epicenter of the earthquake.
Due to Japan's position on fault lines that lie under the ocean as well as land, tidal waves will result on occasion from these increasingly severe plate adjustments.
Canterbury University scientists have said there are about 100 fault lines and fault segments around the region, rather than the half-dozen active faults that were known about 20 years ago.
He questions tightening of regulations only paying attention to the active fault and appeals to think future of nuclear power plants and energy considering both losses and gains comprehensively.
Nevertheless, there is a fault line running through Costa Rica, and during the incessant pressure of the slow moving S American roll, fault lines can pull apart and bang back together again, like clapping.
We do not know the location of all the active faults, and in fact, there is not much understanding of the underground structures where earthquakes occur.
I am assuming that the machines that were placed near the fault lines were intended to mitigate the impact of the plates movement during this severe wobble period.
If the fault line will be more stretching apart in these areas then the quakes probably wouldn't be as extreme, as a stretch zone is more silent, but the destruction to infrastructure will still be great.
Earthquake Database The software contains databases of destructive earthquakes, active faults, and fault models, which are based on research papers and governmental public information.
These Japanese quakes will allow the northern parts of the Pacific plates to shift, and this has repercussions on fault lines in the N American continent.
Input Seismic Wave Studying the historical records of earthquakes and active faults around the site, we create a site-specific seismic wave to conduct time-history response analysis of turbine towers.
