Disaster strikes Japan



Japan was hit on March 11th by an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter Scale. That is 100 times larger than the recent earthquake that hit Christchurch.

The quake triggered a huge Tsunami which then hit Japan's Eastern coast. Luckily lasrge areas were able to be evacuated in time but there is still a large death toll of over 1,400 and 10,000 people still missing.

What else can you find out about this disaster and tell me?
