The 2011 Japan Earthquake This was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded, It was so powerful that it shifted the main Japanese island of Honshu 2.4 meters to the east and may even have moves the Earth along its own axis. The highest tsunami measured was 9.3m, but the water level rose significantly in many places where the gauges could not measure it. The wave was so strong that it destroyed many houses. It killed 18,246 people in the disaster, all caused by the tsunami, and the amount of damage was staggering. The tsunami not only claimed many lives, but also damaged the cooling systems of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, eventually causing three of its six reactors to fall into disintegration, creating pollution. radioactive contamination. severe nuclear radiation. The crisis at the Fukushima plant forced the government to declare an evacuation zone within a 20km radius around the plant. People living in the area were ordered to evacuate, but many people living outside the area decided to voluntarily evacuate. This is the number of breakwaters that will be built after the disaster, the walls have been completed. with a cost of up to 12 billion USD.
