2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami A severe natural disaster that occurred in northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011. The event began with a strong earthquake off the northeastern coast of Japan. Honshu Island which is the main island of Japan This caused widespread damage on land and caused a series of . Massive tsunamis devastated many coastal areas of the country. Especially in the Tohoku region. (northeastern Honshu)  The tsunami also caused a major nuclear accident at a power plant along the coast.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit at 2:46 p.m.  (Initial estimates of magnitude 8.9 were later updated.) The epicenter was located 300 kilometers from Sendai. Miyagi Prefecture is approximately 130 km to the east, and the focus occurs at a depth of 18.6 miles (about 30 km) below the  western Pacific Ocean floor. This earthquake was caused by the rupture of a subduction zone associated with the Japan Trench. which separates the Eurasian Plate from the subducting Pacific Plate. (Some geologists argue that this part of the Eurasian plate is actually just a fragment of the North American plate known as the Okhotsk microplate.) Part of a subduction zone about 300 km long. x 150 km wide,  up to 164 feet (50 meters) east-southeast and rising approximately 33 feet (10 meters)  March 11 earthquake felt as far away. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Russia, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; and Beijing, China have experienced several previous major earthquakes. This included a magnitude 7.2 quake with an epicenter approximately 40 km from the main epicenter. Hundreds of aftershocks of magnitude 6.0 or larger and two of magnitude 7.0 or greater followed in the days and weeks after the main quake. (Almost two years later, on December 7, 2012, a 7.3-magnitude tremor occurred from the edge of the same plate. (The earthquake caused no injuries and only minor damage.) The March 11, 2011 earthquake was the most powerful earthquake to hit the region since then. Record-keeping began in the late 19th century and is considered one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. It was later reported that a satellite orbiting the outer edge of Earth's atmosphere that day had detected infrasonics. (very low frequency sound waves) from such earthquakes

Sudden horizontal and vertical movement of the Pacific Plate. which moves in slowly Under the Eurasian Plate near Japan This causes the water above to move and create a highly destructive tsunami. Waves about 33 feet high inundated the coast and inundated parts of Sendai city. This includes the airport and surrounding rural areas. According to some reports One wave penetrated approximately 10 km inland after causing the Natori River. which separates Sendai from the city of Natori to the south, overflowed.  A damaging tsunami hit the coast of Iwate Prefecture. Northern Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima, Ibaraki, and Chiba Prefectures that stretch along the Pacific coast south of Miyagi . In addition to Sendai, other communities hit hard by the tsunami included Kamaishi and Miyako in Iwate,  Ishinomaki, Kesennuma and Shiogama in Miyagi. ;  and Kitaibaraki and Hitachinaka in Ibaraki . As the flood waters retreated into the sea They carried enormous amounts of debris with them. Including thousands of victims trapped in the floods. Large tracts of land were left submerged by the sea. Especially in the lower areas

The earthquake sparked a tsunami warning throughout the Pacific Basin. The tsunami moved away from the epicenter at a speed of approximately 800 kilometers per hour. It created waves 11 to 12 feet (3.3 to 3.6 meters) high along the coasts of Kauai and Hawaii in the Hawaiian Islands. and waves as high as 5 feet (1.5 meters) along Shemya Island in the Aleutian Islands. Several hours later A 9-foot (2.7 meter) tsunami finally hit the coasts of California and Oregon in North America about 18 hours after the quake. Waves about 1 foot (0.3 meters) high reached the Antarctic coast. and caused part of the Salzberger Ice Shelf to fall off its outer edge.

The quake measured 7.6 on the Richter scale and caused waves about 1 meter high along the western coasts of Japan and South Korea. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued its first major tsunami warning since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Ishikawa Prefecture. northeastern Japan Killing nearly 20,000 people,  it was later downgraded and eventually cut into consulting.

It was the strongest earthquake in the region in more than four decades, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The entire city was damaged in the disaster. last week Japan has lifted the ban on operating the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. which is the largest nuclear power plant in the world It has been closed since the 2011 tsunami. Nuclear regulators said there were no confirmed abnormalities at nuclear plants along the Sea of Japan. This includes five smoldering reactors at Kansai Electric Power's (9503.T) Opens a new tab Ohi and Takahama plants in Fukui Prefecture. Shiga Factory in Hokuriku City in Ishikawa City which is the closest nuclear power plant to the epicenter Two reactors were suspended before the quake for routine inspections. and was not affected by the earthquake in any way

Tsunami!  Evacuate!' after the earthquake. A bright yellow message reading "Tsunami Evacuation!"  echoed across the television screen. People in specific coastal areas are warned to evacuate immediately.

Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of Japan. which is the most severe ever in the country It caused a tsunami as high as 30 meters and hit as deep as 5 kilometers inland, resulting in loss of life. environmental damage and damage to infrastructure. The disaster also caused damage to several nuclear power plants. Leads to serious risk of contamination from radioactive release.

While various events Still unraveling The scale of the disaster was all too clear. More than 13,000 people are confirmed dead and 14,600 others missing, making it the worst disaster to hit Japan since the 1923 earthquake.  With initial damages estimated at US$309 billion. It is also considered the most expensive disaster in the world. Waste management after disasters This is in addition to the unresolved situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant and urgent humanitarian issues linked to large numbers of displaced and dispossessed people. Dealing with the enormous amount of debris generated by the earthquake and tsunami has been identified by the Japa government as an immediate challenge. The total amount of debris is estimated to be between 80 and 200 million tonnes, comparable in size to the resulting debris. from Hurricane Katrina which cost more than $3.2 billion to clean up. Land shortage will increase post-disaster waste management costs in Japan. Environmental impacts and risks Other environmental problems That need to be taken care of during the restoration phase may include: Soil and groundwater: when seawater infiltrates deep into the land. Soil salinity (and hence agricultural products) and shallow groundwater quality (If used for drinking or irrigation) may be affected.

Removing sediment from coastal canals: Coastal waterways were completely washed away by tsunami waves. and must be drained in order to be usable Water supply and sewage networks: Damage to urban water supply and sewage networks can result in cross-contamination. which leads to adverse effects on the health of the population Coastal ecosystems: Coastal habitats and ecosystems can be destroyed. Impact on Livelihoods and Environmental Risks of Restoration: Restoration operations may have significant environmental impacts. This is especially true if environmental considerations are not taken into account in the planning and management of operations such as waste disposal and clean-up. Immediately after the earthquake and tsunami The Executive Director of UNEP wrote to the Prime Minister and the Environment Minister of Japan respectively to express their condolences and offer UNEP's assistance and expertise.  UNEP has significant direct experience in managing the environmental impacts of major disasters. and ready to help the Japanese government and people If requested Risk from radioactive contamination The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the main agency responsible for coordinating international assistance in the event of nuclear accidents and radiological emergencies. UNEP is in close contact with the IAEA Events and Emergencies Center through its Secretariat. The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) is ready to respond to requests for assistance.
