The Ryukyu Islands earthquake of February 26, 2010, occurred near the boundary that accommodates most of the relative motion between the Philippine Sea and Eurasia tectonic plates. The coordinates of its epicenter are: 25.902°N, 128.417°E
It depends on the power and the location of the epicenter.
The epicenter.
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
Epicenter
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
It is the Epicenter
at the epicenter
80 square miles. alot of cities and surrounding towns. the earthquakes epicenter was at the north east coast of Honshu Island.
Because earthquakes rupture sections of a fault, sometimes for hundreds of miles. So it is possible for there to be just as much destruction anywhere along the fault as there is at the epicenter. (the epicenter being at the beginning of the rupture)
it is a target for earthquakes because it is on a fault line and the epicenter is right above that
