there was a earthquake today at 3/11/2011
Tokyo did not get hit by the recent earthquake in Japan, however the stress from that earthquake has been moved along the plate bounday and therefore Tokyo is the next target for a major earthquake in Japan.
Tokyo was the city destroyed by the earthquake of 1923 in Japan. The earthquake, known as the Great Kanto Earthquake, caused widespread devastation and fires in Tokyo and surrounding areas, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of lives.

The earthquake in Tokyo occured because, Tokyo lies on three tectonic plates. When those plates come together, seperate, or slide past each other an earthquake happens. However, Tokyo is also a city in a major fault zone!
The earthquake slightly damaged Tokyo, and the tsunami only hit the north Japan area.
I'm sorry, but I only know the strength of the Tokyo Earthquake, and that is 7.1 Magnitude. A very strong and deep earthquake it was!

Almost all of Tokyo Japan had little damage after the March 11th 2011 earthquake.
The 1923 Tokyo earthquake, also known as the Kanto earthquake, lasted for between 4 and 10 minutes.
Tokyo hasn't been impacted yet, read the news for once.
The north-eastern area of Japan was the most affected by the 2011 earthquake. Tremors were felt further south than Tokyo, which is in the middle of the main island. Most of the population lives along the coast, though, and the epicenter was off the north-east coast. Japan lies in an earthquake zone, so they have had earthquakes all over the country at different times. The two other large ones, 1995 and 1923, both happened in the center of the country near Tokyo.
