Today when trying to make more advances with our research project, we found it challenging to find the information that was needed. As a result, we have decided to take a different approach and made our question more focused. Kaira has been successful in finding a ton of information on Mining and the shift of the island. We still are interested by this and want to have more of the project focused in these areas.
Our new research question is this:
How did the Japanese Earthquake affect the physical landscape of the country especially in relation to the shift of the island, mining, and building structures?
We plan to gather general information on what caused the earthquake looking into plate tectonics, boundaries, ect.
From this we will look into the physical shift of the island. How it shifted, where, by how much ect.
This leads to the idea about mining. How the mines were affected, the chemical process of iodine - being the dominant industry. We will also look into how the mines are structured. If they are prepared for earthquakes or not, ect.
We are also going to look into the structure of buildings. How they are prepared for earthquakes, why they didn't make it through the earthquake.
We are going to put these areas together today and see if this new focus brings us more information and success.
