i dont freakin know
Maybe, if a series of 8.0 earthquakes occurr on every part of the globe.
Japan gets earthquakes because it sits very close to three different regions, known as plates. These plates move in different directions which causes Japan to shake ie get earthquakes. Try checking this website for a picture http://www.ecology.com/archived-links/continents/index.html
The mountains made the Japanese move to the coast to make their homes, and as a result, they started to eat a bunch of fish. The Ring of Fire is an area that has many earthquakes and volcanoes. It goes right through Japan, so that's why Japan has so many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the Ring of Fire's earthquakes and volcanoes shape Japan, and that's why it has so many mountains.
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
cause Japan does sometimes
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Japan it gets very strong earthquakes and may cause a tsunami
Tectonic plates shift and cause earthquakes.
No, I'm sure there is no connection
There are fault lines in those areas, and when the earth's plates move, they cause earthquakes. There are two fault lines in San Francisco, but I do not know how much in Japan.
Japan lies in the earthquake zone where four plates come together. As the plates push against each other, they cause violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Japan's coastal areas area at risk of tsunamis because Japan is lies on several plate margins. The movement of the plate margins cause earthquakes. it is the earthquakes in the sea bed and under water which cause tsunamis. This is because the movement displaces the water and causes a large wave of water.
Houses in Japan are made of wood as japan is prone to earthquakes and does experience constant earthquakes
because japan sit on top of a tectonic plate which if it rumbles would cause an earth quake which would then lead to a tsunami.
No, lightning does not cause earthquakes.
