What part of Japan did earthquake hit?

According to USGS, the epicenter of the quake was reported to be 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku near Sendai.The energy released by this earthquake was enough to set the ground rippling at frequencies and amplitudes people can percieve at distances of greater than 2,500 kilometers (over 1,500 miles).

What was the cause of Japanese tsunami 2011?
The most powerful earthquake recorded in Japanese history, magnitude 9.0, was the cause of the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011. The tremors were the result of a violent uplift of the sea floor 80 miles off the coast of Sendai, where the Pacific tectonic plate slides beneath the plate Japan sits on. Tens of miles of crust ruptured along the trench where the tectonic plates meet. The earthquake occurred at the relatively shallow depth of 30 km (18.6 miles), meaning much of its energy was released at the seafloor.
What is basic difference between melting and fusion?
Melting point is the temperature at which something melts. Like ice has a melting point of 0 Celsius. The heat of fusion is the heat energy that is absorbed (or released) when a substance melts (or freezes) an is measured in energy units, either calories or joules. Ex. One gram of ice must absorb 80 calories of heat energy to change into liquid water.

How do you caculate the percentage difference?
The percentage difference is the difference divided by the original times 100. eg percentage difference between 80 and 90 = (90-80) / 80 x 100 which is 10 / 80 x 100 which is 12.5 In other words it has increased by 12.5 percent.

How do I Add -31 to the difference of 80 and -56?
The difference between 80 and -56 = 80 - (-56) = 80+56 = 136. Adding -31 to 136 is the same as subtracting 31 from 136; or 136-31 = 105
