311 Japan's 9.0 Earthquake

 I believe that everyone knows the 8.9 Earthquake that happened in Japan in March 11^th, 2011. Three of the major coastal cities were been ruin totally. The earthquake was not the worst thing, coming after the earthquake was a huge tsunami and a big fire. One of the reasons why the earthquake causes such a huge damage to Japan is because Japan’s lands are lower than other countries’ lands. Also, because of the land reclamation in Japan, Japan’s coasts have a lot of man-made lands which are once ocean. These kinds of lands are not as stable as the original lands. Right now there are thousands of deaths and injures, and the rate is still rising.

  I think this article is important because this is a very serious disaster, not only to Japan, but also to the entire world. We can’t stop these kinds of natural disasters, but what can we do the best to decrease the death rate and the loss during the disaster? What can we do to save the mass amount of organisms? What can we do to cost the least damage? These are the major question that the world needs to discuss and cooperate.

Here is a link to a video that record about the earthquake.
