Godzilla lives underneath Japan.?

What that video shows is a common occurrence in earthquakes called Liquefaction in which water rises to the top of sandy soil and since the area in the video is reclaimed land from the sea then the soil would be saturated with water.

Does not have to be landfill can happen with solid soils.

Yes , I know , I was pointing out that the land in the video was reclaimed land from the sea and would be more likely to liquefy because if the high water content.

Nope, its due to one plate shifting over another there.

It appears to have shifted about 2M, quite literally.

That has no consequences for California.

Thank you professor Roddles... Oh btw be prepared for a bot response.

Should posters be attaching potential bot warnings with all posts, with a response level like a Defcon warning?

Instead of saying say Defcon-4, we could have a Roddlebot-4 for this one, and scale them right up to a Roddlebot-1 meaning war is imminent!

Ohhps, sorry Rod, I know this is no laughing matter. :-)

Yes, it's a pretty sad state of affairs in Japan.

This whole earthquake prediction thing seems pretty much impossible.

Some guy popped up on the news after the Christchurch quake and said that he had predicted it (used the tides or some such BS) and he had a

So I've been keeping that date in mind.

Hasn't happened.

Nah!! I reckon some of our flood water is leaking across to them.

I reckon the disaster in Japan is because of payback by the whales !

The whales want revenge on the Japanese for killing a lot of their kind for "scientific purposes" , the whales know about all the tectonic plate faults and they got a mob of whales together and nudged Japan 2.4 metres towards one of the fault lines causing a big earthquake and a tsunami that flooded quite a lot of the land killing about 10K people which is about the same number of whales that the Japanese have killed over the years..

I don't think Japan will be doing any whaling for awhile.

Apart from being quite amusing it smacks of Karma

Smacks, haven't heard that for years!

Neither had the plates until the whales

whaled in

Godzilla Firefox?

This variant would have been Godzilla Sea Monkey!

correction.

But thats got nothing to do with what Japan has seen, thats a different pair of plates shifting over each other. By 2M very likely, thats one hell of a shift.

One of the GPS stations in Japan quite literally moved by that much.

Which says that with Japan, its sliding over a quite different plate to whats happening at California, stupid.

Apparently that is normal; hit by n size quake and major aftershock of n-1 following is normal.

Roddles Which way is the plate moving? Is it ducking under in Nippon or riding over???
