What was the epicentre of the recent big tsunami in Japan?
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
What is the damage volcanoes cause?
Volcanic eruptions can cause earthquakes, fast floods, mud slides, and rock falls. Lava can travel very far and burn, bury, or damage anything in its path, including people, houses, and trees. The large amount of dust and ash can cause roofs to fall, makes it hard to breathe, and is normally very smelly. The ground around the volcano is not secure and can cause big earthquakes.
What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
Why earthquakes cause more damage than others?
The biggest earthquakes do not always cause the most damage if they strike unpopulated areas, or areas where the local infrastructure was built to withstand severe earthquakes. Also some big earthquakes may be high in intensity, but very short in duration, causing less damage.
What is more destructive a big earthquake or many small earthquakes?
It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.

Are volcanes bad or earthquakes?
Both are considered bad. Volcanoes, if the eruption is big enough, can damage a lot of land. However, earthquakes are more frequent and they can be very destructive.
How big are Australia's earthquakes?

What do earthquakes near Japan often cause?
Japan has a lot of earthquakes during the year. Most are small enough they can pretty much be ignored, but some are big enough to be felt, and rarely the are big enough to cause some damage. Earthquakes themselves in Japan do not cause much damage. Buildings are built to withstand even the strongest earthquakes. Direct damages to buildings could be cracks in walls ceilings and floors, and sometimes destruction of the house if the house is too old, or not built to withstand strong earthquakes. Indirect damages are the worst following an earthquake. They will include tsunami, landslides, fires. Power outages may follow. In public transportation systems such as train, earthquakes are usually detected before they arrive, so the operator has enough time to stop or slow the train down to prevent large accidents. This delays trains and screws schedules off, but they will not be in any serious physical damage, but if they are, they are usually derailments. Power outages will stop the whole train system until power is back.
