A significant seismic event has had a lasting impact on Japan, according to scientists. The event in question occurred on March 11, 2011, and was triggered by a massive earthquake. The earthquake caused the ground to shift, with nearly the entire country moving eastward.

This movement was detected by GPS station measurements. Further details about this seismic event and its effects on Japan are available from the source, KVIA ABC-7, which cites a report from CNN.
