Roma, 11 mar. (Adnkronos) - I risultati preliminari degli studi effettuati dall'Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia after the earthquake in Japan show that the earthquake this morning,''he shifted the earth's rotation axis is nearly 10 inches. The impact of this event on the axis of rotation - it said in a note INGV - was also much greater than that of the great Sumatra earthquake of 2004 and probably second only to Chile earthquake of 1960.''
The earthquake today is "a truly exceptional event, so important as an earthquake occurs every 100 years or more. We are facing one of the highest magnitude ever recorded in the planet." It is believed Giampaolo Cavinato, researcher of the Institute of Environmental Geology and Engineering Geology of the National Research Council in Rome, however, mean that the displacement of nearly 10 cm of the axis of rotation of the earth caused by the earthquake can cause long-term climate change. This type of impact on the environment, with climate changes "are when you experience the movement of feet and above - says the geologist - when it completely changes the tilt of the earth relative to the orbit: in that case there may be changes seasonal, because it is the inclination to determine all the climatic changes the planet. While an earthquake, though so strong - he added - can not cause an acceleration of these movements. " From the geological point of view "in this earthquake - report Cavinato - It has happened that a significant amount of mass has moved from point to point within the earth's crust, and this has caused the displacement of the axis. We are talking about an energy that is about thirty times greater than that of the earthquake of the Eagle ".
