Mega quake threatens Japan: Experts warn of catastrophic consequences!

In Japan, the fear of a mega quake increases after experts have increased the likelihood of a strong earthquake of strength 8 or 9 in the next 30 years to 75 to 82 percent. These alarming forecasts come from an expert body used by the government. So far, the likelihood of 74 and 81 percent has been growing, but concern has grown, since the last big quake in Nankai trenches took place 79 years ago, and a three-quarter century has passed since the last devastating shocks. Experts warn that a future quake could have devastating consequences, including tsunamis of over 30 meters high and damage in billions, such as OE24 reported .

The latest fears were reinforced by an earthquake of the thickness of 6.6 on Monday evening, which shook the population in Miyazaki's prefecture. During the national holiday “Coming of Age Day”, many 20-year-olds celebrated their majority when the quake took place in the Hyuga Nada Sea at 9:19 p.m. It affected large parts of Kyushu and led to a temporary failure of train traffic in the region. Although the vibrations for tsunami warnings were caused by serious damage and injuries, such as Sumikai. .

The earthquake has again drawn attention to the Nankai trench, the tectonic border area between the Eurasian and the Filipino plate, where large earthquakes occur every 100 to 150 years. The Japanese weather authority had already issued a warning in August because of the risk of a mega quake, but was lifted after a week. Despite the latest earthquakes, the authority informed the population that the risk of a mega quake in the Nankai trench was consistent, and asked the residents of Kyushu to remain careful.

Japan is located in one of the most active seismic zones in the world and is shaken annually by around 1,500 earthquakes, but most of them are weak. In view of such warnings and the alarming conditions, the uncertainty remains in the region.
