I feel the earth move III

We saw that, the powerfull earthquake occurs can upper plate lurches upwards and eastwards, releasing strain built up as the two plates grind against one another. Japan's coastline may have shifted by as much as 4m (13ft) to the east following Friday's 8.9 Magnitude earthquake,

Geonet operated by Japan's Geographical Survey Institute is working on the array began in 1993, GSI it has now grown into the largest GPS network in the world.
According to the BBC the Pacific plate has moved a maximum of 20m westwards.
Data from the country's Geonet network of around 1,200 GPS monitoring stations suggest a large displacement following the massive quake.

That doesn't mean the whole country has shifted by that amount because the actual displacement will decay further from the fault. As the Pacific plate moves westwards underneath Japan, it drags the North American plate downwards and westwards with it.

Many seismologists, for instance Finnish Matti Tarvainen says it could not be possible (coastline has shifted).
Never say never or worst: it could happen, according to science ....

I´m jus a man, a gold war weteran, who has seen collapse of the Soviet Union. They used to say `according our sciences, we have the incontrovertible evidence that´ ...If evidence so strong it overpowers contrary evidence, directing a fact-finder to a specific and certain conclusion, is the axioms of thought upon which they are based.
One axiom is i saw the collapse in neighborhood.

If we see the relative truth, consciousness is not what it appears to be - clear.
