Meiji Seismic Wave

The Meiji Seismic Wave refers to a large, powerful earthquake that struck Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912). When an earthquake occurs, it releases energy through seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, causing shaking and potential damage. These waves can be of different types, like surface waves that cause the most shaking. The specific "Meiji Seismic Wave" generally denotes the seismic activity associated with that historical earthquake, which significantly impacted Japanese infrastructure and society. In scientific terms, it’s the energy waves that propagate from the earthquake’s focus, transmitting movement through the Earth’s layers.
