tonight me and my family were talking about the Tsunami and earthquake that happen over in asia. My cousin kelly brought somethen really intersting. She heard from somewere that the Tsunami/earthquake cause the earth axis or roatation to jump a little, she said it caused the earth to jump like 75 feet or somethen like that. Has anyone heard about this? I was looking at the moon tonight and it a 3/4 moon tonight. But the weird part is that the shadow or whaterver you want to call it was more towards the top of the moon. Instead being on the left or right side of the moon.,

Actually I believe all it did was cause a slight wobble along the axis and caused the rotation of the earth to speed up by 3 milliseconds.
