Justin. Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The soon to be ex-leader of Libya? You know, the guy who likes killing his own people for sport? I haven't read the news about Libya thoroughly.. Ah I'm grateful that at least the countries being hit with these quakes and tsunamis don't have leaders like that. The Japanese and Russian leaders seem as competent as possible to handle them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin. Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) #japan declares Atomic Power Emergency for one of its #nuclear reactors ^I'm not even worried about us. Call me foolish but I don't think it will happen, at least not to this degree. We constantly have weak earthquakes here which relieve pressure, and the one that caused Japan's was because of huge movement of plates that also moved the ones on top of them...? I can't imagine it's that bad for the coast here. Edited March 11, 2011 by Sacha Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin. Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Being from an earthquake-free country I would like to know if so many smaller quakes after a big one are normal. That list seems very long to me. They're normal and called aftershocks. I don't know the science behind it but if there's a big earthquake, you can expect some smaller ones to follow suit. This is kind of an extreme case though. Wiki: Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes formed as the crust around the displaced fault plane adjusts to the effects of the main shock.
