This article provides a good summary of some of the lesser known ways the Japan Quake affected the entire world! Most of us would mention the nuclear
reactor issues first. There certainly are many of those. Maybe mention the impact to industries like the auto industry. Or maybe the impact to
humanity and those who were instantly made homeless by the tsunami. This event would rank right up there in course of human events anyway you stack
it. Here are a few lessor known ways it affected not just Japan but literaly the entire world!
I did not know that an earthquake could shake the atmosphere. This article was fun to read because it does talk about things that one might not
ordinarily think about. Also, the part about the Japan quake triggering other quakes was interesting. Reading this makes one realize just how
powerful a large earthquake can be.
