Japan has been very unlucky recently. Not only did it have one of the greatest earthquakes that even moed the earth by 2.4 meteres. It was so strong the earthquake started up a tsunami which left Japan destroyed. Many people were swept up, buildings, homes, everything was destroyed. The earthquake was at a 8.9 magnitude being one of the largest Japan has every got. It made a great impact because it also moved the coastline and changed the earth on it's axis. Parts of Japan moved closer to the United states about 13ft.
As the earthquake occured along the coastal area of Japan it dropped 2 feet and this made the tsunami travel faster into the land with a greater impact pulling on all the houses and destroying everything. Since it moved on it's axis the length of the day was shortened by a few second.The tide took more than 1,000 bodies, rescue workers run out of bags and crematoriums are overwelmed with too much people. This even affected the stock market many industries stopped exporting because of the water, they were big Japanese industries like Toyota and Honda.
Before AfterSince the tides hit eveything they pushed around all the cars and boats. In the top picture above you see that the boats just crashed into each other and spilled their oil in the ocean. All of this ruined the ocean by contaminating it with oil. in the before and after pictures you see how it destroyed everything that nothing was left. Roads and everything were missing and there was smoke and everything was on fire. In some places the fire even reached 10 feet. You can read more about the earthquake
