Earthquake causes Japan to be hit by huge Tsunami
The BBC just showed live pictures of the Tsunami surge. I'll be amazed if there is not a considerable loss of life.
... and they still expect the surge to hit other shorelines around the pacific basin that have not been reached yet.

Good morning all. I cannot begin to imagine what these people went through. The aerial footage shot of the Tsunami "eating" the land was unbelievable. According to the weatherman, due to the ripple effect they are expecting Eastern Australia to feel it as well as the western shores of North & South American. It is supposed to hit the U.S. shore in less than 3 hours. They don't expect it to be anywhere near as damaging as it was to Japan but Hawaii may be adversly effected.
I do wonder about all the global warming nay sayers. Something is seriously going on with the Earth and it seems to be growing increasingly worse.

Hate for this post to be hijacked like this.. but in response to JAL .
Nay sayers... hmmm .I guess that is a polite way of saying 'denier'.
I checked the list ,and yes earthquakes and tsunamis have been blamed on global warming before .

Can you demonstrate the relationship between plate tectonics and climate change ?
Maybe Michael Mann can concoct one for you.
Cuccinelli has filed multiple civil investigative demands to review Mann's e-mails and documents. The attorney general is accusing Mann of using manipulated or deceitful data pertaining to climate change to obtain taxpayer-funded research grants, and hopes to acquire documents that will enable him to prosecute Mann under the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act

True science will tell you that the Ring of Fire is caused by naturally occurring shifting on the plates.Humans adapt .
These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things–taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many–those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance–our living frames are altogether immune. ....By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth..(HG Wells )

As of this second, the tsunami clock is down to about 5 minutes for Japan. Many people are reportedly planning to ride it out in the bar. I kid you not.

Or all that snow everyone has gotten. If it gets any warmer Florida is going to need snowplows.

Incidentally... on topic. THe reported numbers are still low but climbing. I think its going to take some time before they figure out how many are missing... even in rough numbers. Got to be a lot of debris etc to sort through just from the few videos I've seen thus far this morning.
8.9... thats a HUGE f-ing quake by anyone's standards.

The subduction of continental plates has nothing at all to do with it?
I think we had earthquakes for longer than people have been self aware on this planet. PARTICULARLY in that region of the world. After all, Hawaii doesn't exist because of oil and gas companies actions.
Incidentally... its wreaked havoc with the telecom stuff in the region... so if I end up scarce on the site for the next few days... its related to that.

Tsunami speed
[ 0 Answers ]
I have read and heard that tsunamis are capble of moving across the ocean at up to 700 mph. Additionally, that the speeds correlate with the square root of the depth at which the earthquake occurred. This seems counterintuitive to me.
Can anyone give me an explanation of why the relationships...
