But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.Costas Synolakis, a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles said,” Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what we
27、nt wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event.”He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.The nine p
28、oint zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan.

Japan has the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.C. There are not concrete sea walls around all of the Japanese

36、e FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanens embassy last week.“They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name,”she said. “People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name.
