Satellital Photos: Before and After Earthquake - Tsunami

These two handout satellite photographs provided by the Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) of the German Aeropsace Center (DLR) show the city of Soma and surrounding area before (L) and after the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 12, 2011 at Soma, Japan. At least 1,800 people are confirmed dead across northeastern Japan and at least two nuclear reactors at the Fukushima facility are facing meltdown.

Unbelievable Images from Space! Magnitude 9.0 Earthquake And Tsunami Devastate Northern Japan

In this handout image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), model runs from the Center for Tsunami Research at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory show the expected wave heights of the tsunami as it travels across the Pacific basin March 11, 2011. The largest wave heights are expected near the earthquake epicenter, off Japan. The wave will decrease in height as it travels across the deep Pacific but grow taller as it nears coastal areas.

In general, as the energy of the wave decreases with distance, the near shore heights will also decrease (e.g., coastal Hawaii will not expect heights of that encountered in coastal Japan). (Photo by NOAA via Getty Images) Read more …
