The 2011 earthquake off the coast of Japan was one of the biggest ever recorded at 9.0 on the Richter scale, triggering a devastating tsunami that left thousands dead or missing and hundreds of thousands homeless in northeast Japan. Several older nuclear power plants suffered explosions and radioactive leaks as safety systems failed in the aftermath, forcing workers to battle for weeks to bring the situation under control and detect radioactive material. The combined cost of the earthquake and tsunami is estimated at over $300 billion, making it the world's most expensive natural disaster on record and causing global economic repercussions due to Japan's important role in the world economy.

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami by Justin Formosa, 3.04
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan that triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves up to 38 meters tall. Over 15,000 people were killed and over 125,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It also caused nuclear accidents at several power plants, most seriously at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant where residents within a 20 km radius had to evacuate. It was the most expensive natural disaster on record, with damage estimated at over $300 billion.
Japan earthquake 2011
1) On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the Tohoku region of Japan, generating a powerful tsunami that caused widespread damage.
2) Over 18,000 people were killed or missing as a result of the earthquake and tsunami. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was damaged, displacing over 350,000 evacuees.
3) While the situation at Fukushima was dangerous, it was brought under control and radiation levels, though concerning, did not reach Chernobyl-level meltdown. Financial support, donations, and messages of care and encouragement can help with recovery efforts.
Tohoku Natural Disaster - March 11-2011
An earthquake of magnitude 9 struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, triggering a massive tsunami. Over 15,000 people were killed and the tsunami caused a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Pacific tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate, releasing built up stress between the plates. Effects of the earthquake and tsunami were felt around the world, including tsunami debris still washing up on North American shores two years later.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that caused devastating damage. It was the fourth largest earthquake ever recorded and caused over 15,000 deaths. The earthquake was caused by subduction along the Japan Trench, where the Pacific Plate slides under the Okhotsk Plate. Significant effects included major land subsidence along the coast, numerous powerful aftershocks, and a large tsunami that caused additional destruction. The earthquake also shifted the Earth's axis and rotation. Japan continues to recover from the damage many years later.
2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami caused widespread damage in Japan. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, generating massive tsunamis up to 40 meters high. Over 15,000 people were killed and infrastructure like roads, railways and power plants were severely damaged. The tsunamis also caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in radiation leaks. The disaster caused short term impacts like power outages and interruptions to transportation and communications across northern Japan.
Japan Earthquake
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan with a magnitude of 9.0, making it the most powerful earthquake to hit Japan. The epicenter was 70 km east of Oshika Peninsula. Over 15,000 people were killed, mostly by the resulting tsunami, and over 100,000 buildings were destroyed. The earthquake occurred due to the convergence of the Pacific and Philippine Sea tectonic plates, shifting portions of Japan closer to North America and triggering a large tsunami. Significant damage was caused across northern Japan.
The 2011 tohoku earthquake
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was a 9.0 magnitude megaquake caused by subduction along the plate boundary where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It generated a massive tsunami that caused widespread damage. Over 15,000 people died, mostly from drowning, and economic costs are estimated at $185-309 billion, making it one of the most costly natural disasters ever. Strict building codes limited structural damage from the quake, but the tsunami overwhelmed coastal infrastructure and communities. The disaster highlighted the need to strengthen protections against both seismic events and tsunamis.

History ppt on tsunami
The document provides information about tsunamis including their history, causes, characteristics, and impacts. Some key points:
- Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides under water. They can travel at high speeds across oceans and grow dramatically in size and power when reaching shallow coastal waters.
- A tsunami may first appear as a rapid pulling back of water from the shore, exposing parts of the seabed, before a huge wave comes crashing in. This retreat only lasts a few minutes before the full force of the tsunami hits.
- The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan triggered a massive tsunami with waves over 40 meters high

The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. It forms a horseshoe shape around the Pacific Ocean basin, and is associated with oceanic trenches. Around 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the largest earthquakes happen along the Ring of Fire. Countries like Chile, Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have experienced major volcanic eruptions and earthquakes due to tectonic plate subduction processes along the Ring of Fire.
Volcanoes 1
There are over 1500 active volcanoes in the world, with over 600 erupting in the last 50 years and creating new land formations. Volcanoes are commonly found along subduction zones and hot spots. The life cycle of islands formed by hot spots begins with volcanoes building new land that eventually subsides underwater. Mount St. Helens erupted catastrophically in 1980, destroying forests and landscapes, and erupted again in 2004 after 18 years of dormancy.
Chaitén - Volcano Case Study
The Chaitén volcano erupted in Chile in May 2008, producing ash plumes up to 17km high and pyroclastic flows. The eruption destroyed the town of Chaitén and forced the evacuation of its residents.

Statistical methods to optimize process parameters to minimmize
This document discusses statistical methods to optimize process parameters to minimize casting defects in steel castings. It summarizes research on defects like shrinkage, gas pores, and hot tearing. The study was conducted at Akaki Basic Metal Industries in Ethiopia, which produces steel castings using no-bake sand casting. Four process parameters were analyzed at three levels using factorial experiments: sand-binder ratio, mold permeability, pouring temperature, and de-oxidizer amount. The goal is to determine the influence of each parameter on porosity and optimize the parameters to minimize defects. Literature on casting defects and causes like binder composition, pouring temperature, and gating is reviewed to inform the study. Tests were done to check moisture in sands
FINAL
1) The document describes a methodology for synthesizing chiral anti-1,2-diols from α-oxyaldehydes using organocatalytic α-oxygenation. This provides a convenient route to access these important building blocks.
2) Key reactions include the addition of organometallic reagents like Grignard reagents to α-oxyaldehydes, which proceeds with high diastereoselectivity through chelation control.
3) The anti diol configuration of products is determined by NMR spectroscopy, exploiting the difference in chemical shifts of the hydroxyl protons between the anti and syn diastereomers.

A tsunami is a series of waves that are brought about by an earthquake in the sea or any other volcanic eruption. Tsunamis have happened since the creation of the world. Major Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes that happen after the collision of tectonic plates (Samuels). Some plates are too hard to be pushed when a collision occurs they release energy causing seismic waves. These sudden seismic waves lead to an earth shake. Tsunamis can be very dangerous to the dwellers of the seashore (Taylor). Tsunamis that have happened have been recorded to cause deaths and loss of property. For instance, the largest Tsunami to occur was in Sumatra in 2004 which had a magnitude of 9.1 and left over 230,000 people dead. The Tsunami that happened in 2011 in Japan was devastating and resulted in loss of many lives. Property of approximately 300billion dollars was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. People drowned and most of them died. Many pictures were taken to keep a memory of what happened. This Tsunami was very large and impacted a lot to the Japanese government.
Many publications have been made about the historic 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear accident that occurred in Japan. The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9. Authors and photographers have published many articles with photographs of the tragedy, commonly referred to as "3/11". The earthquake hit the Tohoku region of Japan (BBC news). It swept away the entire town, killed thousands of dwellers and triggered a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Many damages were mostly along the coastline. The photo shows a wave that resulted from the tsunami earthquake as it approached Miyako City from the Heigawi estuary in Iwate Prefecture. The picture was taken on March 11, 2011, published in the Mainichi Shimbun. The photo shows the wave sweeping everything on the coastline including vehicles and houses. In the ocean, ships are seen as they are carried away, and others stack in the water. Some part of the city is submerged by the waters. The wave looks very strong and fast approaching, carrying and destroying everything on its way. This part was one of the most affected parts by the tragedy. Much of the town city was destroyed. The photo is just representation of how the deadly waves approached the cities in Japan destroying people and properties.
The earthquake in Tohoku 2011, struck the offshore of Japan beside a subduction zone where two tectonic plates were colliding. A subduction zone is where one plate slides below the other into the mantle which is the hotter layer below the crust. A recent study found out that, the Pacific plate which is in the east of Japan slides beneath the Eurasian plate (Samuels).

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami caused widespread damage in Japan. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Honshu on March 11, 2011 and generated a powerful tsunami. Over 15,000 people were killed and over 6 million homes lost power. The tsunami also caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, resulting in radioactive releases and over 100,000 evacuations. The Japanese government coordinated relief efforts and long-term responses such as waste disposal to address the extensive damage from the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear incidents.
2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami Japan
This document provides information about earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. It begins with an introduction to Japan's geography and location within the Pacific Ring of Fire. It then discusses Japan's history of earthquakes, including a major 9.0 magnitude earthquake in 2011 that caused over 15,000 deaths and US$235 billion in damages. The earthquake generated a large tsunami that flooded coastal areas. The short and long term impacts included widespread damage, deaths, injuries, power outages, and environmental effects. The response involved immediate search and rescue efforts, temporary shelters and hospitals, and rebuilding infrastructure over subsequent years through large public works projects.

This is Chapter 1 in a newly published textbook entitled "Case Studies in Public Health Preparedness and Response to Disasters" -- "The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. This chapter describes what is probably the best example historically of what has come to be known as a "cascading crisis": earthquake, tsunami, with secondary nuclear reactor damage. http://www.jblearning.com/catalog/9781449645199/Japan tsunami
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused widespread damage. A magnitude 9 earthquake triggered a massive tsunami, with waves over 128 feet high in some areas. Over 15,000 people were killed or declared missing. The tsunami also caused a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Recovery continues years later, with debris removal, rebuilding of infrastructure, and relocation of evacuees from Fukushima. The earthquake and tsunami had effects across the Pacific region and around the world.

2. The tsunami waves reached heights of over 40 meters in some areas, sweeping inland and destroying many cities and towns.
3. Over 15,000 people were killed and over 2,500 were reported missing as a result of the earthquake and tsunami. The disaster also caused nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Crisis in Japan by Chris Mizzi, 3.03
On March 11th 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit northeast Japan and triggered a massive tsunami. Over 14,000 people were killed and thousands more were left homeless as towns were destroyed by waves up to 23 feet high. The earthquake and tsunami also caused nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima power plant, contaminating food and water with radiation and forcing many residents to evacuate. The damage to Japan's infrastructure is estimated to cost between $250-300 billion to repair and will take years to rebuild.

Tohoku Earthquake
A 9.0 magnitude underwater earthquake struck off the coast of northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011, generating a powerful tsunami. The tsunami waves ranged from 3-6 meters high and flooded over 561 square kilometers of land, devastating many coastal cities and killing over 16,000 people. The earthquake and tsunami also caused a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, resulting in radiation leaks and the evacuation of over 200,000 residents from the area. The disaster caused over $300 billion in damages and displaced 400,000 people across Japan.

Japan experiences frequent earthquakes due to its location near tectonic plate boundaries. Several major earthquakes have struck Japan in recent decades, including the 1995 Kobe earthquake which killed over 6,000 people and caused $200 billion in damage. Other significant quakes include the 2005 Fukuoka and Miyagi earthquakes, as well as the 2007 Noto Peninsula and Chuetsu offshore earthquakes, demonstrating that earthquakes can occur across Japan. The government invests heavily in earthquake-resistant infrastructure and early warning systems to reduce risks and impacts.

The document compares and contrasts the 2011 Japan tsunami and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It notes that while both disasters were deadly, the death toll was much higher for the 2004 tsunami which killed over 200,000 people across several countries. In contrast, the 2011 Japan tsunami has resulted in around 10,000 deaths reported so far. A key difference was that Japan had early warning systems and tsunami preparedness measures in place, while coastal areas in South Asia caught by the 2004 tsunami had little to no warning. Both earthquakes that triggered the tsunamis were extremely large at 9.0 magnitudes.
The power of mother nature
This document discusses several natural disasters including earthquakes, avalanches, tsunamis, volcanoes, and tornadoes. It provides details on the causes and effects of each disaster. For earthquakes, it notes they are mostly caused by faults rupturing and details the relative energy levels of different magnitude quakes. For tsunamis, it explains they are caused by displacement of large water volumes, and discusses the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Japan tsunamis. It also summarizes information on avalanches occurring from increased snow loads, and describes volcanoes as ruptures allowing underground gases and lava to escape.
Good work
A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, triggering a devastating tsunami. The tsunami waves reached heights of over 130 feet in some areas, washing away homes, cars, and devastating many entire towns in Japan's northeastern coast. The earthquake and tsunami also caused a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, as damage to the plant's cooling system from the tsunami threatened a potential meltdown. Authorities worked to avert a catastrophic meltdown by cooling the reactors. The disaster is considered Japan's worst crisis since World War II.
Bad work, Tsunami in Japan
A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami off the coast of Japan that washed away homes and cars. The tsunami hit Hawaii and west coast of the United States, causing widespread damage across Japan's northeast coast. The earthquake shortened Earth's day by 1.8 microseconds and increased its axial wobble. It also shifted parts of Japan by up to 13 feet. The Japanese government declared it the worst crisis since World War II due to power outages and loss of telecommunications across affected areas.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 1. Japan Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis •The earthquake off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 was one of the biggest recorded, measuring 9 on the richter scale.
- 2. • It was the resulting tsunami, however, that caused the most destruction. It devastated the northeast of Japan, leaving many thousands dead or missing, and hundreds of thousands homeless or evacuated from the area. •In addition, various power generators failed. Some older nuclear power stations risked meltdown and suffered explosions and radioactive leaks. Workers have battled for weeks to try and bring the situation under control. Radioactive material has been detected in various places.
- 3. • It is thought that the cost of the earthquake and tsunami could be over $300 billion — the world’s most expensive natural disaster on record.
- 5. There are global economic repercussions as well, given Japan’s key position in the world economy.
