∙ 12y agoThe magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the shore of Japan occurred at 2:46 p.m. (local time) on March 11, 2011. The U.S. Geological Survey agency said this was the biggest quake to hit Japan since record-keeping began in the late 1800s and one of the biggest ever recorded in the world.
Fact is that Japan has so many earthquakes that only the really big ones are news worthy. Japan lies on activity tectonic plates so there are earthquakes in that area each and every day but most of those are too small to be noticed.
