大規模な表面の潮流が存在していることがすでに知られているが、表面下の大きな潮流も発見されつつある。の英語

Large-scale surface currents are already known to exist, and major currents below the ocean surface, too, are being found.

But the seabed is moving more than the land, and this could mean the seismic center might be under the sea rather than under the land.

Hothouses have collapsed, and ground liquefaction accompanying the earthquakes has affected many rice paddies.

An article in the American journal “Science” has reported the discovery of strata containing evidence for global glaciation.

a localized and violently destructive windstorm occurring over land characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground

a high wave (often dangerous) caused by tidal flow (as by colliding tidal currents or in a narrow estuary)

a more intense El Nino that occurs every few years when the welling up of cold nutrient-rich water does not occur

Researchers believe that volcanoes created by this type of volcanism can be found in other parts of the world, too.

a sudden onrush of tidal waves caused by strong gales or a decline in air pressure

Many tourists visit Hokkaido to see drift ice from the land or from ice-breaking ships.

light wispy precipitation that evaporates before it reaches the ground (especially when the lower air is low in humidity)

the probability that an earthquake will generate a level of ground motion that exceeds a specified reference level during a given exposure time

the Mohorovicic discontinuity averages 5 miles down under oceans and 20 miles down under continents

crust or layer of hard subsoil encrusted with calcium-carbonate occurring in arid or semiarid regions

strong turbulence in an otherwise cloudless region that subjects aircraft to violent updrafts or downdrafts

In order to change the rolling landscape as little as possible, the Global Loop was built around the site.

an area that has little precipitation because some barrier causes the winds to lose their moisture before reaching it

a hypothetical continent that (according to plate tectonic theory) broke up later into India and Australia and Africa and South America and Antarctica

a land imagined by Jonathan Swift where impractical projects were pursued and practical projects neglected

If there's a world-wide all-out nuclear war it's said that there will be a "nuclear winter" all over the planet for several months.

It is feared that the houses located below these lakes may be flooded if water levels rise.

With this information, we may be able to prevent water-related disasters such as floods and secure water resources more efficiently.

The earth's ecosystem is to some extent self-correcting, so it is also possible that the effects are being masked by other changes.

Some parts of Hokkaido did not suffer any direct damage from the earthquakes, but many tourist spots have been hit by harmful rumors.

Wind is a limitless and clean source of energy, but there are still fewer wind power plants in Japan than in Europe and America.

As long as a bear is relatively inactive, and is not exposed to wind, it does not burn excessive energy in cold weather.

These signs show, for example, the estimated danger in case a nearby river overflows.

Hazama thanked everyone with tears and said, "Now I know the earth is really big and round."

This source is dependable and predictable, but more research is still needed in this area.

These streaks appear in several locations when temperatures are above minus 23 degrees Celsius and they disappear when temperatures get lower.
