The Geospatial Survey Institute of Japan released information tonight saying that after analyzing data from electronic reference points around the Kumamoto earthquake, it was discovered that when the earthquake occurred this afternoon, Yatsushiro City in Kumamoto Prefecture observed a maximum crustal deformation of about 84 cm, while Kumamoto City observed a maximum of about 40 cm of crustal deformation. The above data are preliminary statistics. The Geospatial Survey Institute of Japan said that with subsequent further analysis, the relevant values are still likely to change, and “84 cm can be said to be a considerable deformation of the earth's crust.”
