Mountain-sized ROCK hidden beneath the coast of southern Japan could be acting as a 'magnet' for megaquakes, study warns
2022-02-09
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Seismic researchers detected the first signs of the 'Kumano Pluton' back in 2006

  • Until now, however, it was unclear how big it was or the impact it might be having

  • University of Texas-led experts used a supercomputer to study 20 years of data

  • From this they could create the first full, high-resolution model of the rock

  • They found that the enormous mass is directing tectonic energy to its sides

#6  A giant earthquake magnet hidden under the earth must be a rare phenomenon. OMG, this is one of those rare earth magnets people are always going on about!

#4  So, it's a wedge against tectonic plates? That must be one big rock. Consider me skeptical

#2  Make me work MK.

Kaiju is a Japanese genre of films and television featuring giant monsters. The term kaiju can also refer to the giant monsters themselves, which are usually depicted attacking major cities and battling either the military or other monsters.
