3 lakh people died due to tectonic time bomb, half GDP wiped out… Threat of a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, warning
a
The Japanese government has issued a catastrophic warning on Monday, which has created panic in the whole country. The Japanese government has issued a report on Monday warning that a very dangerous earthquake can occur near the Pacific coast. The report says that this earthquake will be so powerful that it will give rise to a tsunami that the world has hardly seen till now. Hundreds of buildings can be reduced to dust in the tremendous speed of the tsunami. The estimate of destruction due to earthquake and tsunami by the Japanese government is enough to scare. It is feared that at least more than 3 lakh people can die due to this.
Let us tell you that last year also the Japanese government had issued a similar warning regarding earthquake, in which the possibility of an earthquake of magnitude 9 on the Richter scale was expressed. This fear was expressed when an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 occurred on the Pacific coast in Japan. Japan has always been an earthquake-prone area and thousands of people have died due to earthquake.
Warning of a devastating earthquake in Japan
The report of the news agency Reuters says that if the fears of the Japanese government prove to be true, then the country may suffer a loss of 1.81 trillion dollars. According to the Japanese currency, this figure is equal to 270.3 trillion yen. This figure is half of Japan’s GDP. That is, half of the country’s GDP can be wiped out due to the earthquake. The new estimate of the Japanese government includes the pressure on the currency due to inflation and ground data. Due to repeated earthquakes and small tsunamis in Japan, flood areas have expanded, which has caused heavy damage to the country’s economy. These things have been mentioned in the cabinet report of the Japanese government.
According to the fears of the Japanese government, if the worst situation arises, then an earthquake of magnitude 9 can occur at that time, which will likely affect the country’s population of 12 lakh 30 thousand, which is 10 percent of the total population of Japan. The report also said that if such an earthquake occurs late at night during winter, tsunami and collapsing buildings can cause the death of 298,000 people. Let us tell you that Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in the world. It has been placed in the category of trembling sea areas. Here the probability of an earthquake of 8 to 9 magnitude in the sea areas is around 80 percent.
Japan has been placed in the Nankai Trench region category and this trench extends about 900 km from the southwestern Pacific coast of Japan, where the Philippine Sea plate is submerging under the Eurasian plate. Due to tectonic stress, a major earthquake can occur in Japan once in about 100 to 150 years. Earlier in the year 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 9 occurred in Japan, which caused a devastating tsunami. This caused three reactors at a nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan to melt down, killing more than 15,000 people.
