i am not sure.
Most of the largest earthquakes in Japan are caused by subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate or Pacific Plate, with mechanisms that involve either energy released within the subducting plate or the accumulation and sudden release of stress in the overlying plate. Earthquakes of these types are especially frequent in the coastal regions of northeastern Japan.

The Kobe earthquake in 1995 was caused by the movement of the Eurasian Plate being subducted beneath the Philippine Sea Plate along the Nankai Trough. This movement resulted in the sudden release of energy that led to the earthquake.
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate were the two tectonic plates involved in the earthquake that occurred off the coast of Japan in 2011. The earthquake resulted from the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate, causing a massive release of energy.
Earthquakes are caused by tectonic activity of the earth. In otherwords, the earth caused the great kanto earthquake :P (: The Philippine plate and the Honshu Plate rubbing together caused the tremors in the earth and the earthquake :)

The pacific plate :)
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
No, the 2011 Japan earthquake was a megathrust earthquake, specifically a subduction zone earthquake. It occurred along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate.
The challenger deep was formed when the Philippine plate and the pacific plate had a collision forced the heavier pacific plate down toward the mantle, and the edge of the Philippine plate was dragged down creating a steep walled trench.
