      The magnitude 9.0-9.1 earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, shifted the Earth’s figure axis by approximately 17 cm (6.5 to 10 inches).

      Calculations at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory determined that the Earth’s rotation was changed by the earthquake to the point where the days are now 1.8 microseconds shorter.

      It’s amazing to see how tiny islands of Oceania affected the wave propagation for thousands of kilometers.

      Cool map!

      What are the numbers? They don’t seem to correlate with the colour (ie wave height) – are they sensors, data buoy IDs or something like that?

      I remember this map floating around on Facebook at the time with conspiracy theorists saying it was radiation.
