| Documentaries on Japan's Great Tohoku Earthquake |
Besides being the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world overall since modern record-keeping began in 1900 with its magnitude of 9.0, the undersea megathrust earthquake that hit the Pacific coast of Tohoku in Japan on Friday 11th March 2011 is by far the most well documented in history. The data is still coming in but the body of evidence that is already available has allowed the making of very interesting documentaries. I would like to present two of these that were made respectively by the BBC and Channel 4. I use them regularly in my teaching of earth dynamic and thought they might be of interest to you.
