What's Done to Address Japan's Shift?

I am afraid Japan is in yet for more troubling times, seeing the 9.0 magnitude earthquake weeks ago also moved the Pacific Tectonic plate under the American plate and shifted Japan closer to the US. This shift obviously means vulnerability and instability for Japan. NASA and no doubt similar entities are aware of this situation.
I do not know yet what ought to be done, but we have to do something really fast to assist Japan and the Japanese. I am sure that Japan will now be experiencing more frequent disturbances with heightened effects.

We can't do anything a plate shifting isn't something that we can control also this is a natural shift that has been in the making for many years I live in the Ring of Fire and where I live we are overdue for a major earth quake. I am across the Ocean from Japan and well. The Northwestern part of the United States is looking at having a major earthquake happen over here as the area I live in is over due for one we should of had a major earthquake a few years ago but it hasn't happened yet. The Plates will be ramming into each other until a balance is found again and then it will be a period of quite as has happened in the past this is no different Japan will have to find their own way out of this. I would suggest not building Nuclear Power Plants near the Ocean or water. At least not having backup power where a tsunami can wipe them out and well the power plant did do better than planed for taking a much more powerful earthquake than originally designed.
We as in the United States Government should do much but let our private sector non profits do most of the work as they are far more effective than the United States is at getting what needs to be done done. Also we are helping them contain their Reactors that are failing.

Dark_joev, if the Pacific tectonic plate has been going underneath the American plate for quite some time, then does it mean that this further movement from 9.0 earthquake signals such movement should not be? Have you not heard that Japan has since had several earthquakes and most of high magnitudes?
And while land mass may remain the same as you say, fact is that Japan shifted closer to US. I think Japan and surrounding nations are in grave danger.

They aren't in grave danger the earth is just moving around now it may threaten the coast lines of nations around the pacific rim but their is nothing we can do to stop the plates from hitting each other with out damaging the earths internal core and causing a possible shutdown of the cores rotation which would end with the atmosphere as well as the electromagnetic field around the earth to collapse.

Can you provide proof I said the US caused Japan's 9.0 earthquake?
I strongly believe Haiti's catastrophic earthquake of January 2010 was caused by US naval missile testing and everything the US did prior supports my allegation! Like in Hurricane Ike in Houston, before Haiti's 2011 devastating earthquake, the US government had rescue agents stationed in these places! One does not have to be a rocket-scientist to put two and two together.
By the way, if the US was also behind Japan's 9.0 magnitude earthquake that resulted in Japan being rendered very vulnerable, then this should be more of a cause for the US to be working like hell to do something about the result of its acts!

Observant Engineer Disappears - http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2503181.aspx
Taskr, the discussion you speak of is given above. A similar discussion "Japan's 9.0 Magnitude Earthquake Engineered" was only deleted because I gave link to one of my paid/view sites (though link was merely for more documented info).
A chain discussion link is provided above and as you can see and you chimed in, nowhere did I mention the US was behind my suspicion, though not an impossibility. (Next time, remember to respond directly to discussion rather than just commenting, if you want to keep track of discussion.) Now, let's hope you are capable of some basic comprehension.

Hello Net. Japan has had several earthquakes since March 11. The tsunami has caused more trouble for the Japanese people than the earthquake did. After watching how the Japanese people acted after their trouble. I really admire them. They were waiting patiently in line for food and water. There is such a contrast between Our Katrine and Haiti and the way the Japanese people acted. We are doing a lot to assist japan. We have soldiers there helping to hunt for bodies, and With the nuclear reactor. WE do need to help them because we owe them $644 billion beside what we import for manufacturing cars. we also import other electronics. There is nothing we can do about Japan shifting at all.

Hello Nats. Well we do owe Japan a lot of money and we are helping because it is the right thing to do. As single people we can also donate to the cause as we did for Haiti.
Now Japan sit on the very near the ring of fire and was probably created by a volcano as was Hawaii. Now just how would we make it into a floating island? If it was loose from underneath it would be floating already and would be any where. Earthquakes are caused by one plate sliding underneath the other. The earth has been changing from the time it was created and will continue to change. These are growth pains as I see it and we have no control over it the same way we can't control the weather. We are getting too full of ourselves when we think we can control them.

Deebomb, I wish you did not mention "we need to help them because we owe them $644 billion." It makes it sound like the US is only reaching out to Japan because of debt owed. You should be able, as human, to reach out to another just because it is the natural and humane thing to do.
As per nothing we can do about Japan's shift: I wonder. I think Japan and nearby nations on Tectonic plate will now be experiencing earthquake that are combination of Tectonic plate and American plate. We will have to somehow pull and support or lift Japan, perhaps like a floating Island, to prevent it from disintegrating.

I agree that we must stay out of other nations’ governmental affairs. Humanitarian situations however are different: Would you be happy to know that no nation reached out to the US during 911/2001 or Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Ike?
I think Japan have been building to withstand or help minimize effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. Japan is on earthquake path and 9.0 Magnitude Earthquake (probably engineered) further rendered Japan vulnerable and unstable.
Such tragedies need not be in one’s own nation for one to want to take action! Humans are naturally loving and concerned beings

uath Japan has been very prepared for earth quakes for many years. They are far better prepared than we in the U.S. are. They have built earthquake resistant houses for many years. It was the tsunami that has been the problem, That and on going earthquakes since March 11

No they're not. Several of their larger structures have been built to be quake resistant but many smaller ones have not. As the older less resistant ones wear out they should be replaced with more proper ones. There are even designes that would be tsunami reisitant but aren't being used.
I'm not saying we shouldn't give aid, but we can't go around giving pre emptive help building them proper buildings. We're not even doing a good job on that ourself. Our own infrastructure is in terrible shape.

I agree! Sounds like you, too, have had enough with puppets!

I think we will now have to add Technologists and Engineers, especially Structural Engineers. At this point, we will have to start working on how to fix things, not focusing on just how and why it happened.
