According to La Nación, the impact of the Japanese earthquake caused an energy release one hundred times larger than that of the one in Haiti. Leading the research at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Antonio Piersanti stated that "[o]ur estimate is not derived from direct measurements, which require much more time, but theoretical calculations.”
Richard Gross, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, was responsible for discovering the extent to which the planet's axis hd been shifted by the Chile Earthquake in 2010. He claimed that there "should be no impact [from] this change in rotation on daily life."
Gross explained: "Although we have not evaluated the measurements of the Earth's rotation, my calculations indicate that the change in the distribution of land masses caused by the Japanese earthquake may have caused the Earth to rotate a little faster, shortening the length of day about 1.6 microseconds." He said that despite the fact that "[t]his change in the position of the axis of rotation will cause the Earth to wobble a bit different[ly] as it rotates," the planet's axis would not alter in Space.
The source is an Spanish paper related to the Japanese earthquake, but the point of writing all this here is that if one earthquake of 8.9 can change our axis point, we should not forget that earth is millions if not billions of year old. And also, have you ever seen a dangling chair? That dangles on just one foot for some time, balanced, would be an appropriate word, and then.....Bam! it topples down. What if earth has a limit as well? What if earth might is a meter away from toppling? They say that the Chilean and the Haiti earthquake affected the earth’s axis. What if a few more of these.... and we are done for it. It’s just some food for thought for you people. Ask your government to look into it, before it is too late
Peace People Peace \m/
