The Japanese government has warned of the catastrophic economic damage and about 300,000 deaths when the following “Megaquake” strikes the Orthodox nation, according to a new estimate issued on Monday.
Why do it matter
Japan is located along the Pacific Ocean seismic belt, known as the “Fire loop”, and is located along the outer edges of Pacific OceanAs about 81 percent of the largest earthquakes in the world occur, according to the American geological survey.

The four main islands in Japan are sitting at the earthquake and remote islands on five main and secondary tectonic panels on the Earth’s crust-Amur, Okhotsk, Pacific, Philippine Sea and OKINAWA-which move slowly, and focuses earthquakes along its borders.
On March 11, 2011, the 9.0 east of Japan’s earthquake struck the country, making it the largest registered earthquake in Japan. The unprecedented catastrophe led Tsunami It caused a nuclear accident, killing at least 19,729 people.
What do you know
In the latest report prepared by a Japanese government earthquake The Work band, estimates indicate that up to 298,000 people can be killed in the Nankai Megacak basin with a size of 8-9. The report said the victims would include 215,000 deaths resulting from tsunami.
The Nankai Basin is a peripheral trench located off the southern coast of the Japanese main righteousness. It is located on the triple border between the Amur, Okhotsk and SEA Filipino panels. The 2011 earthquake took place in the nearby Japan trench.
The Nancay earthquake has hit Japan every 100 to 150 years – experts have long been afraid to hit another there in the near future. Another confirmed confirmation linked to the basin was recorded in 1944 and 1946, and they struck the country Central in the southwestern region.
In nearly 300,000, Tokyo’s current estimate of a possible loss in life decreased by 10 percent of the previous report issued in 2012, while the expected economic losses rose to $ 1.8 trillion from $ 1.4 trillion.
There is an opportunity 70-80 percent for Megacak Within 30 yearsThe Japanese government is estimated. In the worst scenario, some regions can face the highest level of 7 on the seismic density scale in Japan, as well as tsunami that rise more than 98 feet, according to official estimates.
The highest level of JapanThe scale consisting of seven numbers will make people remain standing, while buildings with low earthquake resistance will collapse, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency.
The release of the Japanese Megaquake report comes after an earthquake of 7.7 Myanmar Friday, caused Tens of thousands From deaths, according to US estimates.
A Chain of earthquakes It happened in 24 hours in Asia last week, also discussions about the Japanese comic book The future I sawRecording of the dreams of the author of the cartoonist published in 1999. The manga was later named after “prophecy” after readers discovered that it had apparently predicted the 2011 earthquake.
The discussion rose again about the full version of the book, as the cartoonist dreams of being a disaster in July 2025. PhilipiniAnd, which caused a giant tsunami three times the one that was struck in 2011.
Ten out of 15 prophecies in Al -Hazli have been explained as being achieved, according to Taiwanese magazine Global views monthly. Among them seems to be Covid-19 pandemic.

What people say
Nobuo Fukuwa, Fakhiri Professor at Nagoya University and a member of the government earthquake business squad: “Unless the damage is reduced, there are concerns about the future of the nation. We want [the government] To take the counter measures more seriously. “
American geological survey, in the questions about natural risks: “[Japan] In a very active seismic region, it has the most seismic networks in the world, so they can record many earthquakes. “
Hong Kong Observatory in a modern update: “On the global level, statistical data indicates that approximately 20 earthquakes of 7 or higher occurs every year, but the exact and location time and the size of these events are not predicted.”
What happens after that
Japanese Kyodo News said that the Japanese government will review the “disaster prevention plan” to appoint additional priority areas based on expanded flood risk areas, as the report highlighted the importance of rapid evacuation in the event of a tsunami.
