Japan Megaquake Alert: Is Japan on the verge of extinction? Fear of 98 feet high tsunami
News India Live, Digital Desk: Can you imagine that the sea water rises higher than a 10-storey building simultaneously? Just hearing it gives you goosebumps, right? But right now Japan is facing a similar scary truth. The recent earthquake that has taken place there has left scientists and the general public in a state of shock. In fact, for the first time, a “Megaquake Advisory” has been issued in Japan. This is not an ordinary earthquake warning, but an alarm of a huge natural disaster. Let us understand in simple language what is going on in Japan and why it is a matter of concern for the world. Why this fear of ‘Megaquake’? Japan, which we call the country of the rising sun, is currently in fear because of the ‘Nankai Trough’. This is a huge fault line present under the sea. Scientists believe that increasing movement here means that a very destructive earthquake may occur. After the recent earthquake of 7.1 magnitude, experts feel that the possibility of “The Big One” has now increased many times more than normal. Danger of a tsunami up to 98 feet (30 meters) high! The most frightening thing is not the tremors of the earthquake, but the tsunami that comes after it. According to reports, if this megaquake comes, waves of about 30 meters i.e. about 98 feet high can arise in the sea. Just imagine, what will such a high wall of water do to the coastal areas? This could be so devastating that even memories of the 2011 Japan tsunami get blurred. What are the Japanese government and people doing? The people of Japan have always faced earthquakes, but this time the alert is very different. From the Prime Minister to the general public, everyone is on high alert. Thousands of people have been asked to go to safe places. Emergency kits and ration are being collected. The speed of trains has been slowed down so that if there is an earthquake, the damage is reduced. Scientists warn: This week can be heavy. Scientists are not saying that the earthquake will come tomorrow, but they have said that the coming few weeks are very critical. Think of it like a spark has been lit near a pile of gunpowder, no one knows when the explosion will happen, but the danger is right in front. The Government of Japan has appealed to the people not to panic, but to be fully prepared. We can only sit in India and pray that this havoc of nature does not fall on Japan. But this incident again reminds us how small we humans are in front of nature. We are keeping an eye on every news related to Japan Megaquake Update and Tsunami Warning.
