    JAPAN'S LIQUEFACTION UPDATE - APRIL 12th ARIA_Env_D347_50cm_cycle_ifg_ge_L
    Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar coseismic interferogram from descending track 347, processed by JPL/Caltech ARIA project. Data acquired on 19 February and 21 March 2011, spanning the main shock of the magnitude 9 earthquake and several aftershocks that occurred in Japan on 11 March 2011 and the following days (until 21 March). One colour cycle represents 50 cm of motion in the satellite line of sight (approximately east at 41 degrees from the vertical), i.e. about 35 cm of motion on the ground. The seismicity plot is from the US Geological Survey. http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM9PL6UPLG_index_1.html#subhead2

    WE WATCH: Is Japan going to sink?! - good analysis
    We would like to point to you some observations about tsunami flooded areas triggered by devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan week ago. We bring you some amazing satellite images that shows area affected by tsunami – before and after. You can compare the impact and strength of waves that flooded the areas. If we take the facts that coast of Japan sanked for 1,2 meters and move horizontaly 5,3 meters then we can make some conclusions. It’s not only tsunami that flooded the coastline but the mass land sinking as well. For now, in this part 2 of our analysis and hypothesis that Japan could really submerge eventually we will observe the current situation regarding the mass land loss affected by waters of ocean. For now, let’s just observe some sattelite images

    This images were taken by the ASTER instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite before and after the disaster. The disaster zone is still bombarded with aftershocks, which are expected to continue for many weeks, possibly months. About 340 significant aftershocks above magnitude 5 have swarmed the region since the 9.0 earthquake struck exactly a week ago.

    The unreported earthquake story in Japan: liquefaction
    Vanity ^ | March 18, 2011 | DTogo

    Posted on viernes, 18 de marzo de 2011 19:29:04 by DTogo

    Amid the human tragedy, tsunami destruction and nuclear crisis in Japan, another story has gone unreported in the densely populated suburbs of Chiba prefecture just east of Tokyo: the liquefaction of hundreds of acres of reclaimed land. We all know that sand castles on the beach do not last against the tide, and neither do sound houses built on foundations of sand.

    The possible liquifecation of large segments of bayside property built up since WWII has long been a concern of geologists and disaster agencies in Japan, and has recently been experienced on a large scale in Christchurch where several neighborhoods are expected to be condemned and abandonded.

    The link above highlights the personal account of one gaijin literally watching the ground crack around him, and then the ground water bubble above the surface. I've also heard from family in Chiba that numerous sidewalks, roads, and also some housing structures were affected by liquefaction. Using the Japanese term for liquefaction; (eki jou ka, literally change to a liquid state) in the Youtube search box, numerous personal accounts in Japan can be found.

    HERE a very well-informed young lady videotapes the liquefaction of the sidewalk in Urayasu, and identifies it as such when you hear here say at 33sec that it's ekijouka and "they say that mud will come out of the ground."
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0Di7vpM3TU&feature=fvsr

    In front of a crowd of daytime shoppers in Shin Urayasu the sidewalks buckle, crack and the earth "bleeds" mud for all to see.

    Certainly not as severve as the complete devastation north of Tokyo surrounding Sendai, but the structural integrity of NUMEROUS skyscrapers, bridges, massive housing structures, and even Tokyo Disneyland, has yet to be assessed.

    Most EQ's don't keep the ground pulsing up and down long after the EQ has passed...even aftershocks don't cause this type of ground movement. This is liquification and is happening on an unprecedented level in Japan now.

    Not the direct effect of the initial Earthquake shock (P-Wave) but whats known as S-Waves. Where rebounding waves from topography (such as valleys, gulleys, mountains, etc), reverberate around themselves that can have just as devastating effects as the larger passing P-Wave be
    forehand.

    A good experiment is to throw a pebble in a pond close to shore, then watch how when the ripples hit something like rocks instead of simply dissipating they disperse the energy by creating smaller ripples. Same effect Earthquake wise.

    The actual shelf japan is sitting on breaking loose and beginning to float independant of either the main landmass or the whole part of the country is breaking free from the shelf and coming apart. did you see that piece of concrete teetering back and fourth and the ground was wet at the crack? thats the tidwater under japan seeping through where the landmass is breaking apart and its actually floating.

    The west coast will take direct hit from Japan - NOTE: THIS HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS PICTURE CAME FROM.

    There have been 16,000 afterquakes since the major quake.

    To the list of destructive forces that have wracked Japan — earthquake, tsunami, radiation from a crippled nuclear power plant — can be added liquefaction, a phenomenon that occurs when the earth’s violent shaking forces sand particles, once packed tightly, to shift apart and allow water to seep in.

    Moments after the quake, Urayasu literally began sinking into the ocean.

    “It was like we were surfing,” said Chiharu Asami, 58, who operates a newspaper delivery service. “We could see the ground shaking and the telephone pillar sank two meters. The muddy water came right away, up to my ankles. Even when the water went away, the mud stayed for a week.”

    Near Tokyo Disneyland, liquefaction turns town into a grim funhouse
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/near-tokyo-disneyland-liquefaction-turns-town-into-a-grim-funhouse/2011/04/06/AFsd5erC_story.html

    It isn't breaking up, it already has disintegrated.

    The ground has turned to mud and it could just be another tsunami that causes part of it to slip off the shelf.

    Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

    If the pressure of the water in the pores is great enough to carry all the load, it will have the effect of holding the particles apart and of producing a condition that is practically equivalent to that of quicksand… the initial movement of some part of the material might result in accumulating pressure, first on one point, and then on another, successively, as the early points of concentration were liquefied.

    If the soil is saturated by water, as exists when the soil is below the ground water table or sea level, then water fills the gaps between soil grains ('pore spaces'). In response to the soil compressing, this water increases in pressure and attempts to flow out from the soil to zones of low pressure (usually upward towards the ground surface). However, if the loading is rapidly applied and large enough, or is repeated many times (e.g. earthquake shaking, storm wave loading) such that it does not flow out in time before the next cycle of load is applied, the water pressures may build to an extent where they exceed the contact stresses between the grains of soil that keep them in contact with each other. These contacts between grains are the means by which the weight from buildings and overlying soil layers are transferred from the ground surface to layers of soil or rock at greater depths. This loss of soil structure causes it to lose all of its strength (the ability to transfer shear stress) and it may be observed to flow like a liquid (hence 'liquefaction
    ').

    Liquefaction damage widespread

    The liquefaction-hit areas are about 400 kilometers from the focal zone of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Yet the length and force of the magnitude-9.0 temblor was so strong it set off soil liquefaction on the largest scale ever recorded in this country, experts said.

    In the cities of Chiba, Urayasu, Funabashi and Narashino in Chiba Prefecture, 30 homes and buildings were destroyed, while 1,046 other buildings suffered liquefaction-related damage.

    Most severely stricken was Urayasu, where 85 percent of the land was affected by soil liquefaction. An estimated 33,000 households in the city had their water supply temporarily cut off following the quake.

    Tokyo Disneyland, which is in Urayasu, suffered severe damage to its carpark due to liquefaction. It has been closed since the earthquake but is expected to reopen this month.

    In Tokyo, large quantities of liquefied sand spewed from the ground in Koto Ward, while eight homes in Edogawa Ward have been left leaning, the assessment reports said.

    An unspecified number of liquefaction-caused cracks were found in parks, roads and elsewhere in Minato, Chuo and Ota wards.

    In Kanagawa Prefecture, six cases of subsidence-related damage were confirmed in Yokohama and Kawasaki, including at an apartment building in Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama.

    Japan earthquake causes liquefaction - water from water table being forced out of the ground. This is a phenomenon called liquefaction, and happens when the water table is mixed with the shaking material, and in this case forced up through cracks in the ground. This is the first quake where we have enough video to understand more about how liquefaction works. Check out my other videos for videos that will blow your mind. I am a seismic analyst, so I look at earthquakes every day. If you have any questions about this, just send me a message. I'll try to get back to everyone.
