Japan is one of those most well prepared countries on earth in terms of  you know tsunami warnings. They had warning , I think , what was wrong is they had not anticipated the size of the event.
He says there are two reasons for this Japan has not had any event anywhen near as big as this one  in the last one hundred-fifty years and scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan .The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan .The tsunami waves that followed was reported to have reach as high as threeteen meters in some areas .XXX says Japan concrete sea walls were not built to hundle such high waves .
The concrete sea walls in many places in the Japan are about ten meters that's about thirty-three feet.In the Sendai they were about three meters that's about ten feet. So that shows you at least in that area they were not expecting such size of the waves .
A tsunami wave can travel as fast as eight hundred kilometers per hour .To get a higher ground ,people were often have to travel for many kilometers .This can take more time than the fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like Japan where the center of the earthquake stike so close to the coastline .The tsunami waves followed almost immediately , expects say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquake and tsunami can be perdicted.

A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at 2:46 pm local time on March 11th.
Japan's meteriological agency released its first tsunami warning just 3 min later.
The coutry has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are more than four thousand sense-make intensity meters in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within 2 minutes of an earthquake happenning. Information about the strengh and the center of the earthquake can be learned within 3 minutes.
There are also concreate seawalls around much of the Janpanese coastline but these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquke and tsunami.
S  is a tsunami expert with the department of civil and enviromental engineering at the university of southern califonia in Los Angles.
Japan was one of the most well-prepared countries on earthquake and tsunami warning,the sudden warning,I think what was wrong is they failed to anticipate the size of tsunami.
He says there are two reasons for this.
Japan has not had any event any one near as big as this in the last 150 years and scientist had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide.
It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan.
The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.
C says Japan's concreate seawalls were not build to handle such high waves.
The concreate seawalls in many days in the Japan are about 30 meters which's about 33 feets defend everywhere about 3 meters which is about 3.3 feets.
So that shows you at least in that enemy they were not expecting such a size of wave.
A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers for an hour.To get to a higher ground,people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit this is especially true in cases like japan while the center of the earthquake struck too close to the coastline. The tsunami waves followed almost inmediately.Experts say early warning systems will continual to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted.

1.A powerful earthquake struke the northeastern coast of Japan at 2:46pm local time on 3.11.Japan's media relogical angency releasted its first tsunami warnings just 3 minutes later.The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.

2.There are more than two 4000 science make intensity meters in place throw out Japan to measure earthquake activity.These meters provide information within a minutes when earthquake happening.Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within 3 minuts.There are also concrete seawalls around much of the Japanese coast line.But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsuanmi.

3.Cu** is a tsuanmi expert within the department of civil and environmental engineering at the university of southern Carlifornia in LA,"Japan is one of the most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of,you know,tsuanmi warning,they had warning I think  what was strong?Is that event!"He says,there are two reasons for this.Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last 150 years,and scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening of the coast of Japan.The 9.0 magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake every recorded worldwide.It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan.That tsunal waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as 13meters in some areas.Cus** says Japan's concrete seawalls were not built to handle such high waves,the concrete saewalls in many places in Japan are about 10 eters that about 33 feet .In the s**,there were about 3 meters,that's about 10 feet,so that shows you that at least in that area they were not expecting that such size of a wave.A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 Km per hour.To get to higher ground,people would often have the travel for many kilometers.This can take more time than a fast travelling tsunami will permit.This is especially true in cases like Japan where the centre of the earthquake struck so close to the coast line that tsunami waves followed almost immediately.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakd and tsunamis can be predicted.
