Japan is also a country prone to earthquakes and volcanoes, and its land area is constantly threatened and eroded by natural disasters. Some even predict that Japan will one day sink to the bottom of the sea and disappear from the map.
Such an assumption sounds ridiculous, but if it did, what would be the global impact? Which countries will benefit or lose as a result? What are some other weird and worrisome questions?
1. Japan has sunk, will the global climate change?
Japan is an island chain of nearly 7,000 islands, and it is located at the junction of the Pacific and Eurasian tectonic plates. These two plates are constantly colliding and subducting into each other, resulting in the formation of Japan's topography and landforms. At the same time, this makes Japan a region with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
If Japan sinks, then the balance between the two plates will be upset, potentially triggering more and more intense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. These earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will not only affect neighboring countries and regions, such as China, South Korea, Russia, etc., but also affect the global climate and environment.
Volcanic eruptions eject large amounts of dust, gases, and ash into the atmosphere. These substances block sunlight, lower surface temperatures, and cause regional and even global cooling. At the same time, these substances can also change the chemical composition of the atmosphere, affecting the health of humans, animals and plants.
In addition, if Japan sinks, then its influence on the Pacific Ocean Current will also disappear.
The Pacific Current is a movement of sea water driven by factors such as temperature, salinity, wind, etc. One of the most important currents is the Kuroshio Current. The Kuroshio Current is a warm current that flows north from the equator and circles along the islands of Japan before heading east across the Pacific Ocean.
The Kuroshio Current has many benefits for Japan and Pacific Rim countries, such as providing a warm and humid climate, promoting fishery resources and biodiversity, and protecting against typhoons and storms.
Without Japan's barrier, the Kuroshio Current may instead flow along the east coast of Asia. In this way, countries that previously benefited from the Kuroshio will lose these benefits, and countries that were not affected by the Kuroshio will face new challenges.
For example, the coasts of the Korean Peninsula and Russia will become warmer and wetter. At the same time, the probability of typhoons and storms will also change, which may bring more disasters to coastal areas.
2. Will the global economy be hit by the sinking of Japan?
Japan is an economic powerhouse, and its gross domestic product (GDP) ranks third in the world, behind the United States and China. If Japan sinks, then these economic gains will be wiped out, with a huge shock to the global economy.
Japan's own economy will collapse, and it will lose the base of its land and population, and it will not be able to continue to produce and consume, and it will not be able to continue to participate in international trade and investment. Japan's currency, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets can also lose their value, triggering a financial crisis.
Second, Japan's economic partners will also be hit hard, losing Japan as an important market and supplier, and their exports and imports will drop significantly, leading to a reduction in income and profits. At the same time, there will be difficulties in the disruption and restructuring of the supply chain, and new partners and alternatives will need to be found. These processes take time and cost and affect their competitiveness and efficiency.
The global economic order will also be shaken, and the loss of Japan, an important economic and political power, will lead to changes in the global economic structure and balance. Some countries may take the opportunity to expand their influence and interests, while others may suffer more pressure and challenges.
This could trigger a series of political, diplomatic, and security issues, increasing global instability and uncertainty.
3. Japan has sunk, what are the other strange and worrying problems?
In addition to the climate change and economic crisis mentioned above, what are some other strange and worrying problems about Japan's sinking? Let's take a look at some of the questions raised by netizens.
Japan sank, so what did the Japanese do? Where will they go? Which countries will accept them? Will they be able to retain their culture and identity?
Japan sinks, what about Japanese culture? Will Japanese anime, games, music, movies, and much more disappear? Who else will continue to create and appreciate these cultural products?
What about Japan's nuclear power plants? Will they explode or leak, polluting the oceans and the atmosphere? How harmful is this to humans and ecology?
These questions may seem outlandish, but they're also interesting. They reflect people's curiosity and interest in Japan as a country and culture.
Summary:
We also don't want Japan to really sink, because that would be a huge disaster for the Japanese and the world. The reason for this assumption is to expand our horizons and knowledge through imagination.
