What factors contributed to the extent of damage caused by this earthquake?
Assuming you're talking about the March 2011 Japanese earthquake, the main factor that caused the majority of damage was the 30-foot tsunami wave that rushed the coastline of the Miyagi Prefecture. Note that damage inland was minimal, since Japan has strict building codes to prevent severe damage to large buildings. But coastal cities didn't stand a chance - the water flattened everything in it's path until it ran out of energy and receeded.
How was the japan tsunami caused damage?
Coastal areas were all but completely wiped out by the force of the wave itself. Areas further inland incurred flood damage, and it is suspected that it also caused problems with Japans electrical grid and caused fires, but it is uncertain whether that was the cause or if it was the earthquake.
