A few weeks ago, the Japanese archipelago which is located near three plates such as :Continental Europe, the Pacific and Philippine Sea plate was hit by an earthquake due to the shift of three plates. The earthquake caused a tsunami. The tsunami occured on 11 March 2011. Based on Japanese language, tsunami means waves and porth is the movement of sea water in large quantities due to a shift in the earth crust. There are three impacts of the tsunami such as human victims, destruction of infrastructures in japan and dangers radiation of nuclear power plant damaged by tsunami.
Firstly, many people died in Japan.Tsunami began with an earthquake of 8.9 on the Richter Scale and produced a 10-meter-high tsunami japan tsunami which resulted in the disappearance of victims and the death toll approaching to 13,000. A total of 4314 people have been confirmed dead, while the number of people missing in the disaster reached 8606 and 2282 injured.
Secondly, Many Infrastructure in japan were destroyed by the tsunami. Based on The Japanese government estimation there are more than 46 thousand homes and buildings damaged by the earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan, on Friday last week. The quake also caused damage to roads and bridges at least 600 locations. Roads damaged in 582 locations in 11 prefectures, and damaged bridges in 32 locations in Tokyo and three other prefectures. A water barrier 'Breakwater' in Miyagi Prefecture were swept, too. While the broken rail at seven locations in the two prefectures. The quake also caused landslides in 66 locations in seven prefectures[1].
Finally, radiation dangers caused by the damage in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant by earthquake. When Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station exploded the risk of radiation to the people who live near nuclear plant increasd. Radiation can cause diseases such as cancer, leukimia, and infection. Because Hydrogen Explosion Infected to air, water, wind, and earth. Another Example from nuclear radiation,Among plant employees and firefighters at Chernobyl, many volunteered to try to tame, and then entomb, the burning reactor - although it is not clear that all were told the truth about the risks. Within three months, 28 of them died from radiation exposure. At least 19 of them were killed by infections that resulted from having large areas of their skin burnt off by radiation, according to a recent report by a UN scientific committee. And 106 others developed radiation sickness, with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dropping blood counts that left them highly vulnerable to infections. The people who had suffered radiation sickness developed other problems later, according to the report: cataracts, severe scarring from the radiation burns to their skin and an increased number of deaths from leukaemia and other cancers.
Tsunami in japan is very dangerous and damaging as can be seen by the impact in terms of victims, destroyed infrastructure and radiation risks. Because we are good International citizen, We must help and donate japan for a better life.Justice for all.
