 The text describes a shocking moment when a man stood on a clump of land that emerged overnight along the coastline of Hokkaido Island, Japan. The landmass rose 50 feet above sea level in some places, exposing what used to be the ocean floor. Geologists believe it was caused by a landslide near the town of Rausu. A car was swept out of control and crashed into a pit crew member, who was injured. The incident is being investigated.
