The powerful earthquake shifted the Earth on its axis.According to CNN the eports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude earthquake shifted the Earth on its axis by 4 inches = 10 centimeters.
Japan is located along the Pacific ring of fire, an area of high seismic and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand in the South Pacific up through Japan, across to Alaska and down the west coasts of North and South America.
The Japanese quake comes just weeks after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch on February 22, toppling historic buildings and killing more than 150 people. The timeframe of the two quakes have raised questions whether the two incidents are related.
Stephan Grilli, ocean engineering professor at the University of Rhode Island would like to think the causality connection between two quakes is very slim.
If it´s connection not so slim, we will see earthquakes chain to the the west coasts of North America?
Experts say the distance between the two incidents makes that unlikely.
Unlikely? Sure, ofcourse, but we do not know what erth likes.
The hypothesis that the planet is a single organism was first suggested by Johannes Kepler hundreds of years ago. It was more recently expounded by James Lovelock in The Gaia Hypothesis. In Greek mythology, Gaia was the earth goddess.
Maybe recent upsurge of volcanic action, earthquakes, and unusual weather patterns may well be messages from Gaia, calling us to pay attention to real equilibrium needs?
