Starting up

Research Question: How did the shift of the island affect the ecosystems and biodiversity of Japan?

Shift:

• What caused the shift of the island
• To what extent did it move
• in what direction

Ecosystems:

• what were they like before the earthquake and tsunami
• What are they like now
• How will this benefit or cause harm to the country

Break down of investigation:
1. shifting and mining
2. agriculture/fisheries
3. forestry
4. bio diversity

Today we met and decided our research question and what our project would need to include in order for each member of the group to feel interested and excited about exploring the topic.
We have broken the topic down into sections for each individual to explore so that in our next meeting we can share the information we have collected and further understand our research question.
