The recent Earth quake in Japan on March 11th was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded and triggered a massive 23-foot tsunami. The 9.0 magnitude offshore quake, the largest in Japan's history, was followed by hundreds of aftershocks.
The amount of quakes that are continuing to rumble are astonishing. 20+ A DAY...several above 6.0 daily! To see list of quakes http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html
One of the causes being given for the Quake is the return of massive Solar Flares: The Japan quake occurred just 24 hours after a massive Solar flare hit Earth.
After four years without any X-flares, the sun has produced two of the most powerful blasts ever recorded in less than one month: Feb. 15th and March 9th.
According to NASA website Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot on March 9th. March 10, a CME did strike a blow to Earth's magnetic field. This was a result of an M3 flare that occurred late on March 7, 2011.
According to NASA website March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare. Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166 around 2323 UT.
In addition, on March 10, 2011 around 0630 UT, a CME did strike a blow to Earth's magnetic field. This was a result of an M3 flare that occurred late on March 7, 2011.
