Geophysical impact
The quake moved parts of northeast Japan as much as 2.4 meters (7.9 ft) closer to North America, making parts of Japan's land "wider than before," according to geophysicist Ross Stein.Areas of Japan closest to the epi-center shifted the most. The Pacific plate itself may have moved westwards by up to 20 m (66 ft).Other estimates put the amount of slippage at as much as 40 m (130 ft), covering an area some 300 to 400 km (190 to 250 mi) long by 100 km (62 mi) wide. If confirmed, this would be o...

Naming very large numbers is relatively easy. There are two main ways of naming a number: scientific notation and naming by grouping. For example, the number 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 can be called 5 × 10 20 in scientific notation since there are 20 zeros behind the 5. ...
