Natural disasters change the landscape and ecology in Japan
Several teams of scientists monitored the effects of the early 2024 earthquake in Japan using satellites and found that shifting tectonic plates raised parts of the Noto Peninsula by up to 4 meters, changing the position of coastlines and leaving some ports dry.
Increased volcanic activity has been recorded in Japan and Iceland
Volcanoes in seismically troubled island states have shown increased activity. A state of emergency has been declared in the south of Iceland due to the eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. Before the awakening of the giant, an earthquake occurred in the country. A volcano erupted on Suwanose Island in Japan’s southwestern Kagoshima Prefecture.
Seismic activity in Japan remains high
The death toll from earthquakes in Japan has reached 128 people, reports the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun. According to the latest data from the Ishikawa Prefectural Government, 195 people are missing. Seismic activity in the country is still high. The number of victims of the earthquakes reaches 560, more than 2,000 people are isolated due to the consequences of the tremors.
The beginning of 2024 was marked by an earthquake in Japan and the threat of a tsunami in the Primorsky Territory
Earthquake on the Noto Peninsula: Seismologists in Japan recorded more earthquakes in the first two days after the onset of 2024 than in the past three years. This is evidenced by statistics from the country’s national meteorological department. On the coast of Primorsky Krai, after a tsunami warning due to an earthquake in Japan, the maximum wave height reached 30 cm.
In Turkey, a series of earthquakes killed more than 45 thousand people and created a giant tectonic fault
In Turkey, a series of earthquakes killed 45,089 people, Anadolu Agency reports, citing data from the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). Previously, 44,374 deaths were reported.
The seismically active zone of Southeast Asia has been rocked by a series of earthquakes in recent months
An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred on March 15, the epicenter of the earthquake was concentrated on land approximately 21 km from Garut district, the earthquake center was at a depth of 17 km. The second earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred on March 15 at 23:53 West Indonesia time, the epicenter of the earthquake was 17 km from Bandung. Strong undersea earthquakes have rocked western Indonesia and the Philippines capital region.
Volcanic activity on Mars prevents water from completely evaporating
Seismic activity on Mars indicates tectonic activity that is similar to that on Earth. The NASA InSight probe detected earthquakes on Mars with an amplitude of up to 4 points.
Global climate change provokes the emergence of new and transformation of already known diseases
Climate problems are not limited to glaciers and weather changes; they are a matter of public health in general. Those most affected by the changes are children, the elderly, patients with chronic illnesses and people who work outdoors.
By the middle of the 21st century, Arctic ice may completely melt in summer
The planet’s “refrigerator” has broken down. The Arctic Ocean will be completely free of summer ice by 2030. This assumption was put forward by scientists in connection with the noticeable warming of the Arctic Ocean and the melting of Arctic ice.
