I have been living in Japan since 2006 and living on 能登半島 (Noto Pennsula) in 能登町(Noto villdge)since 2017. I chose this area for its natural beauty and it truly is one of the most amazingly beautiful places in Japan and great for me and my wife who is Japanese and our spiritual practice. We have been experiencing earthquakes here since 2019 when the first one of the cluster hit. The earth quakes situated around Suzu and route 249 between Wajima, Sosogi Kaigan and Noroshi the tip of Noto pennsula. There were two big Earthquakes in 2023 in May. On January 1st 2024 the first one hit at 4:05 pm. It was about an magnitude 5. I live about 19 kilometers from the epacenter. The 7.5 happened exactly at 16:10 . Our area and from the start of it, I knew it was different and I told to run in leave the house so we immeaditely left as carrying our daughter as fast as we could out of our home but it was so to walk in that shaking. When you were out side everything around you is shaking and you don't know how long it lasted or when its going to stop. But when it calmed down it ended with most strangest sensation I have ever felt the the ground stopped shaking but there was a feeling where you were standing that something absolutely huge had fallen that far below the surface something was still shaking of falling down. That was a really weird part of actually experiencing the Noto earthquake. My family home was somewhat damaged and we were lucky to be safe and alive. Though our bathroom was destroyed and so were the pipes in our home and we still don't have water in our house. My wife and I still love living in Noto and will rebuild and continue to raise our famliy here. Any one who wants to live in Japan no mater where you live here there is a very good chance you will go through an earthquake.

I was on tour in that region just six weeks prior to that earthquake. You did a great job accumulating so much footage of the quake. There's a youtuber from that area that features a Shiba Inu they own. They were filming them walking him when the earthquake hit. The poor dog couldn't even stay standing, and you can see seams in the ground nearby opening and closing as the ground shook.

The opening and closing remind me of liquefaction. If you want to see something which might be shocking, the ground we are standing on is not as solid as we often think, we can really see that in the right earthquake circumstances, like in this video: Great Eastern Japan Earthquake - Liquefaction in Makuhari It's basically because of the high concentration of water in the ground, maybe burst pipes, etc.

I was in Tokyo back in February this year for a few weeks and while in an office building I noticed the lamps begin to sway. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US, so small quakes are somewhat normal here and there. One coworker from Oregon just shrugged and kept working. My coworker that lives in DC had eyes as big as saucers. Incidentally, every desk in the office had a folding hard hat and a first aid kit under it, and closets full of emergency supplies in every area. One of the industrial buildings I visited sat on bearings and had signs outside advising not to stand within 50cm of the building since the Earth may move but the building won't. The gutter downspouts had rubber hoses to connect them to the drains for the same reason. I asked if I could go into the bearing area to see them and was politely told no.

"The earth may move but the building won't." Imagine being on a break, escaping the sun in the shade of the facility under a chorus of cicadas which falls silence. Suddenly, from your frame of reference, the building's wall accelerates at ca. 24 m/s² (peak ground accelartion of the Noto earthquacke, so disregarding foreshocks) towards your face, giving you just about exactly enough time to start contemplating your impending fractured skull. It would take about 0.31 seconds to tranverse the 50 centimeters. The average human reaction time is 0.25 - 0.3 seconds! I wonder what the peak lateral displacement of the ground compared to the building is during such a quacke, i couldn't quickly find anything about that.

Just felt a 2.9 this morning when I was sleeping. We've had a few aftershocks nearing 4. Only saving grace is it's severity is relatively lower compared to the active quakes in Japan.

If you watch a pool of recently effused lava, as it cools and more effuses from the ground, you can see the surface cooling, cracking, sliding away from the source. It folds. It wrinkles. Sometimes other newly cooled slabs slide underneath other cooled slabs. That is a short, condensed, miniaturized version of Earths crust and its activity over the course of geologic time. All of this occurs because of a heat source beneath the surface. It is Amazing to ponder the fact that Earth's heat source has continued To produce an unimaginable Amount of heat for such a long time. A massive ball of nickel iron theorized to be approximately 13,000°F, And spinning Producing an electromagnetic field that protects us. Whoever engineered and developed this thing, My compliments!

If there were a magma plume forming the signs of that would have been observed before now. The uplift was clearly a result of the earthquake.

Monitoring earthquake waves allows mapping structures deep under Earth's surface. That's how magma chambers under Yellowstone and mantle plume feeding them have been mapped. So plumes under Japan would have likely been found already. Also plumes are very long lived producing eruptions continuously in geological time scale. So little reason to think one of them had been taking holiday just because human specie appeared on this rock.

For two times I was in Japan (2019 and 2023, both times for over 35 days) I've experienced earthquakes each time being there. It is a humbling experience that reminds me, that I'm not the above the Earth, but that she is above me.

I experienced it once, my girlfriend and I were sleeping early morning, and I woke up and noticed the room was shaking, it was just like a dream, it took a few seconds to get up, and both run outside. The quake was in the Netherlands, and we never experienced something like this. In the news they said this was a "small" quake, it makes you thinks what a big quake must feel.

my god..... the forces.... the way the ground shears..... the coastline rise.... incomprehensible...

The earthquake also unexpectedly caused another (I’d say near) tragedy: JAL516 collision in Tokyo Haneda airport the very next day. The Japan Coast Guard plane that A350 ran over was an emergency scramble to send supplies to Noto for rescue relief

I was in Hiroshima when the Noto quake hit. I was very impressed with the early warning that preceded it by at least 20 seconds across the entirety of broadcast systems. Japanese people are as hard as nails. They rise up again and again and again. Ganbatte!

Seems smart, repeating the same results 😂😂😂

Never been so early!! Your channel is a 💎

I was in an AEON mall near Narita airport when it happened. In Chiba, the earthquake felt just a little sway but i keep up with the news the whole day.

Cant wait to see your take on k2-18b

Since this area is quite rural, it still has a lot of older, traditional-style Japanese homes. You can see in a number of videos how these collapsed due the wooden walls swaying significantly which destabilized the buildings enough for the roofs, heavy with ceramic tiles, to fall to the ground.

I started watching anime Japan Sinks yesterday, this is right on point xD

B1M meets Astrum and we get this great video!

Funny, this happened to me this afternoon in CA. Just a 4 banger, but it was centered about 25 miles due east of my home. No damage, just creaky walls, two small jolts, and a little more shaking for a couple seconds. Just another day in the paradise of OC.

I live in Alaska. We are grateful for our earthquake building codes. Some of our tall buildings are made to sway. It can be nauseating during a 7.0.

The more it will be flexible the more it will be sustainable for quakes. My support with you.

Thank you for this! I'd followed the earthquake live from a safe distance, but despite the continued stories of human tragedy run by the NHK, I'd never followed up on what had happened physically. The tsunami warnings were much higher than what the later same-day reporting showed, and I remember wondering whether that was due to the land sinking a little and thereby triggering unreasonable sea level readings. Turns out I may have been half right!

I did not hear about this. Wow.

I would look to see if there's some sort of recent magnetic scan of the area to see if maybe a weak spot in the crust is forming there from something like a mantle plume. If it's not due to plate tectonics, it's generally caused by magma moving beneath the surface.

I remember a photo from the 2024 earthquake of a building that had fallen on its side. It was completely intact. So the engineers build it very strong. Very impressive.

I live in Otsu. It's about an 5 and a half drive away. Me and the family. We're just chilling at home and I saw my cup of water moving and then I felt the room moving slightly. We were fine but i also live near the Japanese defense Force local base. For about 2 weeks I saw helicopters fly across lake biwa everyday going to Noto. My wife hads a friend that lives there and she was find but her house damaged heavily.

Wild to see how much the landscape changed after the quake. I know of Hawaii being created by volcanoes which makes sense but never thought of the idea Quakes can change coastlines that dramatically.

Happens in megathrust earthquake. Issue being, this isn’t a megathrust. Though it could be a plate pushing in the bottom of another, or its volcanic. The latter being the biggest concern if in fact true.

09:30 Side fact: as shown in the footage You used, they constructed Tōkyo Skytree like ancient pagodas. So it is ancient knowlage combined with new technology.

4m lift is insane. thats like the beginnings of a super volcano eruption

When you pocket altimeter now says you are underground lol

Imagine this as part of the new year

Nice fotoshop on the before and after coastline photo... but i have never seen a surf break thats ever exactly the same this has to be a first...

4:00 I thought those little specks in the middle of the sea were something stuck to my phone and I sat there for a good bit trying to scrape them off 😂

This sounds to me a bit like Japan is hiding a super-volcano beneath it.

Mega-backthrust as the leading edge of the subduction thrust faults work their way into the backarc basin (Sea of Japan).

I find it fascinating that the shaking of an earthquake is just a side effect of what's really happening. It's the vibration caused by rock grinding against rock as the sides of the fault slide past each other. Strain builds up in the thin crust, caused by the thermal currents in the mantle beneath, until it can't take any more and "slips". The slips usually occur at existing faults (i.e. cracks) but of course there's always a first time - the faults weren't always there. To imagine what's happening, if there's a cup on your desk, push it sideways with your finger, slowly increasing the pressure until the friction can't hold it still and it suddenly slips sideways - that's kind of what an earthquake is.

Seven words that make algorithms love You.

It seems pretty reasonable based on the shape of the Noto peninsula along with all the other things noted in the video that the peninsula is the rim of a huge caldera created by a super eruption in the distant past. I'm surprised this possibility wasn't considered. It seems so obvious.

I KNEW IT!!!! Already had this feeling days got longer 🤣

i live in kaga city, ishikawa, japan when the first quake hit noto, my reaction was, "whoa, an earthquake" and still laying around in my room because the quake didnt that strong and i had experience earthquake in my country indonesia, and then my phone ringing warned me for big quake will occur and i decided to go out of my apartment room, because in japan when earthquake warning sent to your phone it means that the magnitude will be over 4 richter

6:42 that's crazy, never knew that earthquakes have such huge impacts

Earthquake swarm, land uplift... sounds eerily similar to what's going on at Campi Flegrei in Italy, though there hasn't been a big earthquake there (yet). It is also worth nothing that the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum was preceded by a large earthquake.

I would like to know more on the ground deformation created by this earthquake. Any suggestions on where to look?

Are earthquakes always somewhat balanced? They ever directional? Like stop-and-go traffic.

Reminds me of the USs New Madrid earthquakes in the 1800s.

I live in indonesia, on the java island sitting directly above the ring of fire. earthquake is a common occurrence here but those earthquake in japan is on another level.

Given that the Earth is already slowing down because of the Moon's tidal forces, an Earthquake further accelerating the process is crazy to think about. That said, it is crazy how much the peninsula has risen.

6:46 that beach would make a fine tourist trap.

During my first night in Japan while in the Army, an earthquake struck and moved my bed (while I was in it) across the large room.

9:40 Wait wait wait, so you're telling me that not only was Sprout Tower from Pokemon a real practical design, it has a real life analog in the hecking Tokyo Skytree?! I'm blown away.

Makes me think a volcano is gathering or creating under that area or something is shifting/moving. I'd be looking in the water at sea floor level and trying to do sonar or something. That land may grow or fall depending on what's happening.

Im confused by your nention of the tokeyo tower bring the tallest. Is this from ground to tip, or based on how high the top is from sea level maybe? Or is this a possible error. Would love to know

Building height is usually measured from the base to the top. That height of 634 m or 2080 ft is repeated at different sites.

I'm so happy to live in an area that rarely ever gets earthquakes.

shot out to the guy who had the battlegear and ridge racer posters in his room. hope hes okay!

I keep wondering if a gradual increase in surface and atmospheric temperature also affects the crust. Perhaps as a matter of not cooling off as well as usual? And so it expands as hot things do, getting more cracks and shifts in the thinnest layer where we live. We would perceive it as more seismic and volcanic activity and even new areas of activity.

Do you think car hitting fly makes much difference for car? Where warming can make difference is changing mass distribution like melting glacier releasing weight from crust.

Your intro describes my reality in Taiwan at least once a year

I was in Tokyo on new year’s day. Felt the building sway and the tv almost fell off the wall.

serious theory: Could a chunk of a place be knocked loose if the friction between all those plates in different directions could knock it loose, then what would happen? Another idea: Could the earthquakes in Noto be due to plates meeting underneath the surface?

That interesting, i wonder if Japan about to get a new Volcano

I wonder if whatever is happening is the latest effect from some sort of geological process that caused the peninsula to form in the first place. Early inflation from a rising hotspot set to become a super volcano in millions of years?
