Tokyo climbs the stairway to hell

Article Abstract:

Scientists believe that seismological data indicates that a major earthquake could occur in the Tokai area, south-west of Tokyo, Japan. The last earthquake in region, which registered 8.4 on the Richter scale, took place in Dec 1854. Unusual seismic events which historical records indicate as having preceded earthquakes in the region have become more common, and there are also indications that the rate at which the earth's crust is sinking has slowed down during the 1990s. This can sometimes be a precursor to an earthquake.
