Stratford College held a minute's silence at the recent Seachtain na Gaeilge concert as a sign of respect to the Japanese people. Lucy Murphy (5th Year) describes what her geography class has learned about the impact of the recent earthquake and tsunami on Japan.
Three weeks after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the 5th year geography class have studied the physical and social effects the earthquake had on Japan. As a geography student I found the devastation caused by the earthquake, which measured 9.0 on the Richter scale, to be shocking and furthermore considering the similarities between this earthquake and the 2004 South Asian earthquake, I found it remarkable that such substantial destruction can occur twice in less than a decade.
