After the magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, some farmland lands were significantly misaligned (video screenshot)
International Online Special Report: According to the report of Japan's NHK News Network on April 18, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture in the early morning of the 16th, causing the faults that caused this earthquake to have a dislocation movement of about 50 kilometers, a width of about 20 kilometers, and a horizontal direction of up to 1.8 meters.
Associate Professor Yuki Yagi from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, who studies seismic waves, came to the above conclusion through analysis. From the surface, we can see that the farmland on the fault has obvious dislocation.
Regarding the earthquake, the Japanese government's earthquake investigation committee said on the 17th that it was considered to be caused by a misaligned movement of part of the live fault "Butachuan Fault Zone". Associate Professor Yushi Yagi also said that the fault he analyzed almost coincides with the "Fudachuan Fault Zone".
However, Associate Professor Yushi Yagi said that compared with the data of the "Budachuan Fault Zone" previously released by the government, the fault may extend 10 kilometers to the northeast, which may also be the cause of major disasters in the Nanasu Village area.
