         The Japan earthquake has been eye opening for me. It’s devastating to see what nature can do. We don't know when is the earthquake happen again. The things that seem stable,  but really aren't. The Japan earthquake start on 11 March 2011, it caused by a 9.0-magnitude undersea mega thrust earthquake off the coast of Japan. later, many people think the earthquake was gone. Unfortunately, the earthquake was happen again on Thursday 7 April 2011. Miyagi earthquake was a magnitude 7.1 Mw earthquake. Don't live near a nuclear plant,nuclear plant can affect people's health. When the earthquake happen, maybe the nuclear plant will leak some. That will produce Radiation. that may affect people's life. Also, We need to stored some food. When the disaster happen, Lots of market will crash. so we need to stored some food to prepare for the unexpected occurrences.

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami was caused by a 9.0-magnitude undersea mega thrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 on Friday, 11 March 2011. The Japanese government has officially named the disaster resulting from the earthquake and tsunami the "Great Eastern Japan Earthquake". The Japanese has officially confirmed 12,087 deaths, 2,876 injured and 15,552 people missing. Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude tremor, which struck about 400km (250 miles) north-east of Tokyo.






   The devastating earthquake measuring 8.9 struck Japan on Friday had its epicentre near the east coast of Honshu. The epicentre was at a depth of 24.4 kilometres. Another earthquake of magnitude 7.2 struck east of Sendai.

what to do in an earthquake?

1. If you're indoors, stay there. Get under -- and hold onto --a desk or table, or stand against an interior wall. Stay clear of exterior walls, glass, heavy furniture, fireplaces and appliances. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. 
2.  If you’re in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. 
3. If you're outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. 
4. If you're driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses. Try to get clear of trees, light posts, signs and power lines. When you resume driving, watch out for road hazards. 
5.  If you're in a mountainous area, beware of the potential for landslides. Likewise, if you're near the ocean, be aware that tsunamis are associated with large earthquakes. Get to high ground. 
6.  If you’re in a crowded public place, avoid panicking and do not rush for the exit. Stay low and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.

I want to chose this topic because I want to know what happen in Japan, and want to know what to do in earthquake,  that I can tell others how to protect themselve during earthquake. Also I want other people can help Janpan, even though donate $1 that will help them a lot. 

The Tokeyo is situated on Japan's main island It's turn sits at the intersection of three continental plates, the Philippine Sea plates , Eurasian, and Pacific.They are slowly grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure that every so often is realised with ferocious force. That is why the Japan earthquake happen.
