Can Japan island share the fate of Atlantis?

Question:


There was a legend, that some old city named Atlantis sinked somewhere in the ocean. It was never found and some thought it was a great and - extraterrestial - civilisation which dissapeared in cataclysmic shock. Currently we saw in march, that nature can return favor for japanese people, mainly because they made their gods angry by killing whales and dolphins. What do you think, can japanese island be sinked in tumors and flood anf thus share the legendary fate of Atlantis.

Answer:


Japanese archipelago separated and became isolated from China around 11,000BC. Archaeological evidence indicates that Stone Age people lived in the Japanese archipelago during the Paleolithic period between 39,000 and 21,000 years ago. Japan was then connected to mainland Asia by at least one land bridge, and nomadic hunter-gatherers crossed to Japan from East Asia, Siberia, and possibly Kamchatka. Flint tools and bony implements of this era have been excavatedin Japan.

Geologists have indicated the Japanese archipelago has moved eastward toward the fault line known as "Pacific Ring of Fire", as such earthquake will be a major threat to Japan in the future, but in terms of sinking it is unlikely.
