The British Geological Survey claims that this earthquake caused minor variations in seismic activity all across the world.
For days, seismometers throughout the globe detected tremors, and researchers are still examining the long-term geophysical effects.
NASA’s use of this information In reaction to the earthquake, NASA and other organizations monitored the movement of the Earth’s crust using satellite data.
These data contributed to the confirmation that the Earth’s mass was permanently rebalanced as a result of the huge slide along the fault line.
The catastrophe enhanced earthquake and tsunami monitoring systems in addition to generating significant scientific interest. The Pacific and Indian Oceans saw the installation of new sensors,
satellites, and early warning systems in the next years. “Events like this remind us of the dynamic nature of our planet,” said Richard Gross, summarizing it.
Earth is a dynamic, ever-changing system rather than a stationary ball of rock. “Even one event, given enough energy, can alter its behavior in surprising ways.”
