∙ 12y agoAs of August 10 there were 4,308 earthquakes in or near Japan in 2011 according to the USGS earthquake data (not including small quakes under M 3.0) with March the most active month of the year. That averages over 19 earthquakes per day (note many of these are on the ocean floor with little or no effect on land).
On March 11 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9.

How many earthquakes have japan had over the years?
Because the island of Japan lies in an area where several plates meet, it has experienced frequent earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the release of energy or seismic waves when these plates move. See the related links below for a list of earthquakes that have hit Japan in the past. The most recent earthquake and biggest to ever hit Japan occured March 11, 2011 and measured 8.9 on the Richter scale.
How many earthquakes happen in japan everyday?
Earthquakes will often occur in Japan once every few days, give or take. This is because Japan is located on four tectonic plates, which are constantly moving and grinding together. This tectonic activity is also responsible for Japan's mountain ranges and active volcanos. The vast majority of quakes in Japan are minor and do not cause much damage if any at all. This is due to the fact that Japan's modern structures are built to withstand earthquakes to a certain scale. However, because of its high amount of tectonic activity, Japan is more prone to get major, destructive earthquakes than most other nations; most notably the Great Kanto Earthquake (in 1923), the 6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake in 1995, and most recently the 8.9 magnitude quake that struck on 11th March 2011.
Is it the first time an earthquake and TSUNAMI hit Japan?
No. It is only one of many times that an earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. Earthquakes in subduction zones such as the one of the coast of Japan often trigger tsunamis. The March 2011 earthquake, at magnitude 9.0, was the strongest on record in Japan though.
How many aftershocks in japan earthquake 2011?
On March 11, 2011 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9.

How many earthquakes in japan a year?
On average Japan has ~20 earthquakes per day (note many of these are on the ocean floor with little or no effect on land). On March 11, 2011 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks that day so the number can vary greater on a given day due to seismic activity.
