The accompanying gravitonic inconsistency are very small. Gravity is a very weak force as it is. You easily overcome the entire mass of the earth with your puny muscles. Still I suppose Chaos over time could... The Magnetic poles though, they have been moving for long before the EQ in Japan, or Chile or wherever. Not related directly. Indirectly, the sun. [/quote] I agree that mass anomalies can be insignificate. However with the Hadron collider in operation, and the human competitive spirit combined with financial reward, I find the Japan earthquake anomaly suspect....especially because we have a nuclear power plant in the center of it. Perhaps these mass anomalies are actually individual events in themselves, but a cause & affect earth science drama is unfolding in an un-natural ways. [/quote]

Please contribute info to this thread. If we work together to gather the pieces of the puzzle, we can unravel the mystery.
Japan earthquake changed gravity…
The devastating earthquake that struck Japan earlier this year was powerful enough to slightly alter the pull of gravity under the affected area, scientists have found. Anything that has mass has a gravity field that attracts objects toward it. The strength of this field depends on a body's mass. Since the Earth's mass is not spread out evenly, its gravity field is stronger in some places and weaker in others. The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki temblor in March was the most powerful earthquake to hit Japan and the fifth-most powerful quake ever recorded. To see how the temblor might have deformed the Earth there, scientists used the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites to analyze the area's gravity field before and after the quake.
