How far did Japan move in 2011 earthquake No It actually moved 14 ft Seriously?

Yes, it's true. During the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the Japanese island of Honshu moved eastward by about 14 feet (4.3 meters). The earthquake was one of the most powerful to ever hit Japan, with a magnitude of 9.0, and it triggered a massive tsunami that caused widespread devastation. The movement of the island was caused by the sudden release of energy from the earthquake, which shifted the Earth's tectonic plates.
