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.
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.
Highest rogue wave in history recorded
The highest rogue wave in history was recorded in the North Pacific Ocean. It received its own name – “Ucluele” and was recorded by a buoy of the MarineLabs project. Scientists believe wave heights in the North Pacific will only increase with climate change.
