Land Of Mutant Daisies

ScrAPES#5: Land of Mutant Daisies

2011 Tsunami "3.11 Tsunami" hit Fukushami nuclear plant resulting to meltdowns
of 3 out of 6 nuclear plants.

Fasciation- caused primarily and rarely because of the
hormonal imbalance causing increase of weight and volume.

Back in March 11, 2011, a magnitude (level nine) earthquake hit Japan resulting to a brutal tsunami. Proceeding after the earthquake, radioactive water was recognized, exposing from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. According to the Japanese government the overall destruction of both the earthquake and tsunami are assuming to be three hundred billion dollars, which in currency of Yen is twenty-five trillion. Four years after the tragic incident residents detected mutated plants in the nearby city of Nasushiobara. There are plants, vegetables, and fruits that are mutated due to the earthquake and tsunami that occurred four years ago. Studies say that mutated flowers like daisies occur as a result of fasciation. Fasciation or cresting, develop due to rare condition of peculiar growth in vascular plants. Researchers have no doubt that mutation came into being by the earthquake that shook and the tsunami that flooded North Eastern Japan. 

This is ideally interesting to me because it astonished me that Japan was hit with magnitude of 9 earthquake with a tsunami. That is very menacing because it results to thousands to probably millions of death and what is more traumatizing is the fact that the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was also hit and destroyed. Nuclear Power Plants are extremely threatening especially when exposed to the environment and living things. Mutated plants, vegetables, and fruits? What has the world come to? If so, that this news is sincere then shortly food will be exterminated due to the nuclear and radiation effecting the grounds of north eastern Japan. People and animals cannot nourish food that contain radiation within the system because it can be a massacre. If people and animals did take in mutated vegetables and plants, will they become mutated as well? In my ideal opinion I think it is very horrific that mutation is occurring in Japan and that debris are washed up on North American beaches.

Mutation, radiation, and nuclear relate to the environment because these three things can effect the living people, animals, and plants in the environment. For example, the nuclear power plant already effected the environment because daises are mutated and are growing inwardly towards each other because of fasciation, vegetables are sprouting in different directions, and some are magnified in larger size or amount. Japanese people should no doubt stay away from radiated locations because their body can have a severe negative reaction to it. It might kill people and we do not want that.
