I’m fascinated by reports that last Friday’s Japan earth earthquake moved some the location of some cities a bit and that there’s a possibility that million years from now, the world’s geography will not be the same at it is today.
We have been educated that the earth’s crust is made up of dozens of tectonic plates that solidified for billions of years. An article I found in the internet likened the earth’s plates to “giant rafts which often slide next to, collide with, and are forced underneath other plates. There is a tremendous amount of energy created by the movements of these plates. Thus we have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.”
The most volatile of those tectonic plates is the Pacific Plate which “ covers almost the entire floor of the Pacific Ocean, making it the largest plate on the planet.”
Habang pinagdadasal natin ang mga na-apektuhan ng lindol at tsunami, ipagdasal rin nating ang ating sarili.
Paala-ala ito sa bawa’t isa sa atin na pahalagahan at gamitin sa kabutihan ang buhay na binigay sa atin ng Panginoon dahil kahit anong oras, pwede na tayong tawagin.
Nakakayanig ang lindol na nangyari sa Japan noong Biyernes. Sabi sa report 8.9 ang intensity. May sukatan ang mga eksperto sa mga lindol at isa na ito sa pinakamalakas sa buong mundo.(Noong Disyembre 2004, ang lindol na nangyari sa Indonesia kung saan mga 220,000 na mga tao ang namatay ay 9.1 ang intensity.)
