magnitude no. 9. the rupture, of 200 mi. exit 100 mi.. the rupture of 200 x 100 and the displacement of the order of 30 ft.. these features and the fact that it was so close to the area of northern japan and in particular, 18 miles from sendai you would expect very strong ground motion. also large tsunami waves. from what i see, these tsunami waves that have cost the greatest damage. >> isabel: dr. kirby, with 125 aftershocks. and even

some at 5.6 magnitude is this unusual? is this a sign of more damage? more problems to come? >> caller: know.my answer is no. and aftershocks are and inevitable after a large earthquake. the aftershock activity that we are seeing is very typical of an earthquake of this magnitude. no. 9. 125 aftershocks is a reminder that is a magnitude 5. now there have been thousands of been a smaller magnitude of this is something that is quite acceptable for an earthquake with a magnitude of this size. we are also drawing some conclusions that some of the aftershocks have been pretty big. remember, the main

shock of the rupture was three minutes and duration. in addition for the strong the ground motion there was three minutes-integration. a long duration integratiothree ms in duration. already, that extensive time is weakening and structures. >> isabel: another quick question japan has one of the most structurally strong safeguard policies more so than the united states. any lessons to learn from this? >> caller: your are exactly correct. high standards for building. many buildings were built prior to the

modern building codes. also, there are problems with stability, lan landslides the compromise even the most sound structure. so, in terms of this strong motion endamage, this is extensive. but the thing that is most notable and striking about this earthquake is that the tsunami waves that were generated. typical, and the structure it should be designed for the onslaught of high tsunami waves in coastal areas. just looking at this video the number of cities and coastal cities in northern japan it is
