A Japanese research team discovered a huge earthquake ruin, which was bigger than the largest earthquake recorded in Japanese history. This area is also where a major earthquake in the South China Sea Trench in Japan may occur, attracting attention from all parties.

Japanese research team discovered super-large earthquake remains, which was bigger than the largest earthquake recorded in Japanese history. This area is also where a major earthquake in the South China Sea Trench in Japan may occur, attracting attention from all parties.

is located in the natural scenic spot "Hashihangyan" in Wakayama Prefecture, southwestern Japan. In history, huge rocks were flushed by sea water, and the heaviest rock weighed 85 tons. Japanese scientists conducted investigations and measurements of 1,300 boulders washed away by the tsunami one by one, and then conducted computer simulations and calculations to find that only the tsunami caused by the magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Richter can rush some boulders to their current location.

The scale of this earthquake is twice the largest earthquake recorded in Japanese history, which is twice the size of the Baoyong earthquake that occurred in 1707.

Japanese scholars studying geology previously discovered traces left by a huge tsunami two thousand years ago in the bottom strata of the lake. He warned that is now the period when Japan needs to be vigilant about the major earthquake in the South China Sea Trench.

Honorary Professor, Kochi University, Japan Masao Okamura:

"Study found that Southwest Japan will be hit by earthquakes and tsunamis every 100 years. The last Showa South China Sea earthquake occurred in 1946, and 76 years have passed. Many people predict that in the next 10 to 20 years, huge earthquakes and tsunamis will cause devastating blows to the southwestern coast of Japan."

The South China Sea Trench earthquake refers to the major earthquake that occurred in the border between and the Philippines plate, which mainly affects the Pacific coast of Western Japan. Japan Earthquake Investigation Committee predicts that in the next 30 years, the probability of a major earthquake of Richter or above magnitude 9 in the South China Sea Trench will be 70% to 80%.
