  9. On Japanese tsunami anniversary, recalling Fukushima effects on ocean

    It&rsquo;s been exactly two years since Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.&nbsp;The magnitude 9.0 shaker resulted when a portion of the Pacific plate was pushed into and underneath the North American plate, <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/13/science/la-sci-japan-quake-science-20110313" target="_blank">shifting the position of Earth's axis about 6.5 inches</a> and speeding its rotation by about 1.8 microseconds a day. Memorably, the temblor also set off a gigantic tsunami that leveled homes and disabled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, leaving rescue crews to scramble to contain the damage. Radioactive water from precipitation, from rivers and from the facility itself poured into the Pacific.
