Tōkai Earthquakes

The Tōkai segment has been struck by earthquakes in 1498, 1605, 1707, 1854, and 1923. Given the historic regularity of these earthquakes, Kiyoo Mogi in 1969 pointed out that another great shallow earthquake was possible in the "near future" (i.e., in the next few decades). Given the magnitude of the last two earthquakes, the next is expected to have at least a magnitude scale of 8.0 , with large areas shaken at the highest level in the Japanese intensity scale, 7. Emergency planners are anticipating and preparing for potential scenarios after such an earthquake, including the possibility of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of injuries, millions of damaged buildings, and cities that include Nagoya and Shizuoka devastated. Concern has been expressed over the presence of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, close to the expecte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
