After the fifth-largest earthquake occurred in Japan, the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, making us closer to Japan by 13 feet. The earthquake also shortened the day by 1.6 microseconds (microseconds may not seem like a big deal, but every little piece of time is precious), and made Japan fall under 2 feet of water.Monday, March 14, 2011
