Google and NASA launched satellite earthquakes in Japan

Both Google and NASA are releasing satellites that receive image signals depicting the earthquake's destruction and causing tsunamis last week in Japan.

Google has partnered with GeoEye, a company's image satellite to provide an image of the affected area available to everyone in Google Earth or Google Maps.

Ryan Falor, a member of Google's crisis response team, noted in a blog post over the weekend that the images being provided will support organizations in their rescue efforts.

Falor said: ' We hope that satellite images are always new to provide a value for them as well as others' images that illustrate the most significant damage '.

Meanwhile, NASA said, scientists used a large perspective of the SpectroRadiometer satellite on Terra spacecraft to display images before and after being devastated by the tsunami. Images from NASA show that floods due to tsunamis extend over land more than 2.5 miles from the east coast. The white sandy beaches that can be seen in the photographs are the images before the tsunami poured in today that were covered with water.

The magnitude 8.9 earthquake (later revised as 9-richter) in Japan on Friday brought tsunamis and emergencies in nuclear reactors that made it more 1,900 people died, although this number is continuing to increase significantly. Japanese officials reported that they had found about 2,000 more corpses along the Miyagi Prefecture coast, which had been hit hardest by the tsunami. And according to the Washington Post, in Minamisanriku alone , more than half of the population there (17,000) is reported to be missing.
