According to the Geographical Survey Institute of Japan, the massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake in March 11 caused large area of land to become submerged?in the northeast of Japan from north to south. Although the government could drain the water from the land, it's still unknown if they can recover the area again.

Dr. Daniel McNamara, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said that the disaster shifted Japan's coast by eight feet in some parts, according to The Huffington Post. He also said the quake actually sank the elevation of the country's terrain is more troublesome than coastal shifting.
