Friends who have seen the movie "The Sinking of Japan" are all shocked by the Japanese disaster shown in the movie. Human beings are so fragile in front of nature, and all our efforts are of no avail. So, will Japan really sink?
The earth is in an interglacial period. Due to the warming of the climate, the sea level will continue to rise. According to estimates, if all the glaciers on the earth melt, the sea level will rise about 60 meters. But the process is very slow, and such a moment will certainly not come so soon. Moreover, because most of the island of Japan is mountainous and the central area has a high altitude, the rise in sea level has a very limited impact on Japan's land area. However, because Japan is in the circum-Pacific seismic belt , earthquakes and volcanic activities are frequent, and it is possible that the island of Japan will undergo major changes due to severe geological activities in the future.
The Japanese archipelago is located at the junction of the two major plates of the Pacific Ocean and Asia. After the great Indonesian earthquake in 2004, the Pacific plate is becoming more and more vulnerable in Asia. It is foreseeable that earthquakes and tsunamis here will become more and more frequent in the near future. The Japanese archipelago in eastern Asia is on the verge of collapse at any time. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011 caused ground sinking in many places along the northeastern coast of Japan, which was submerged in water, covering an area equivalent to more than half of Tokyo. The Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world, has an average depth of 8,000 meters and is only 200 kilometers away from the nearest point of the Japanese archipelago. Today, it is moving toward the Japanese archipelago at a rate of 10 cm per year. After this major earthquake, scientists discovered that the speed of Mariana Trench moving to the northeast increased again. If Japan encounters one or two undersea earthquakes like Indonesia, it is likely that in addition to Ryukyu Islands, the Part of the country will slide into the deep trenches of Mariana.
The sinking of Japan is not a completely alarmist vision. If this day does come, Japanese residents will immigrate to other countries such as China.There is no other way. The Japanese government has now begun to consider that if the island of Japan really encounters a large-scale earthquake and volcanic activity in the future, it will transfer its domestic residents to China, South Korea, and European and American countries. The worst scenario is that more than half of Japan's land will sink, and reconstruction after the disaster has become almost impossible, but the probability of this happening is very slim. Some people think that Japan is the descendant of the Chinese Xu Fu (it is said that the younger brother of Japanese Hirohito believes that Xu Fu is the Japanese emperor Shinmu). If Japan really suffers an extinction by then, the Chinese will surely do so. Give a helping hand to help this offshoot of the Chinese nation that has been living overseas for more than 2,000 years. However, this is just like the movie "The Sinking of Japan", it's just a vague imagination. Now most Japanese people don't worry about the sinking of the Japanese island. On the contrary, as one of the most developed modern countries, Japan is heavily dependent on imports for its resources, and its economy is heavily dependent on overseas markets. With the rise of the global third world economy, the economic outlook is worrying. This is what Japanese people are most concerned about.
