Japan's monstrous earthquake

2:45pm, 11 march 2010, Japan's earthquake started.

Which city is the first to feel the earthquake?

2000km away from the earthquake epicenter, North of Tokyo, Sendai, capital city of Miyagi Prefecture was the first city to feel the earthquake.

80 miles away from Japan, a fold plate goes down to the other. The pressure of the subduction zone reached it's limit and the continental crust slides up creating earthquake and tsunami.

The earthquake stopped for a moment and another comes again.

Waters are squeezed out of earth, making the escape from the tsunami waves harder for the people.

Fukushima nuclear plant shuts down right after the news of tsunami reach the town.

The water level of Japanese coast is 4 feet lower as the tsunami waves are coming soon.
