Sendai
Where in japen did the earthquake happen?
The epicenter of the earthquake was offshore, close to Sendai, Japan.
How long after the Japanese earthquake did the tsunami hit Sendai?
The tsunami hit Sendai approximately 30 minutes after the earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
Why did the tsunami hit Japan right after the earthquake did?
It is because, the earthquake that broke of the coast of sendai happened under the sea and the type of the earthquake was a destructive.Meaning it moved the plates backwards and forwards under the sea bed causing the sea above it to violently move back and forwards creating dangerousley high and powerful waves(4-10M) to reach the coast of sendai and sweep miles through the inland areas.
How many people died in the biggest earthquake in Sendai Japan?
an earthquake kills about 1000 people

How far is Sendai from the epicentre of the 2011 earthquake?
This city of Sendai was 80 miles (128 km) from the epicentre of the March 11, magnitude 9.0, Japan Earthquake. The Japan earthquake was caused by the buildup of strain between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. As the convection currents in the Mantle tried to move the crustal plates around, they were unable to move due to friction. Overtime, this is how strain was built up. The strain reaches its limit and then the plates suddenly move (destructive plate boundary). This action releases shock waves. These are what we feel in an earthquake. When the strain was released the Eurasian plate jolted/ slide upwards above the Pacific plate. This caused an upward wave to be formed. The water flowed in large circular waves which flowed in and out not reaching high land. But when enough strength in the water is gathered it can flow straight, like a wall of water. Now, with enough energy the water can flow over the land and travel as far as it can.
What cities did the March 2011 Japan earthquake hit?
Fukushima, Tokyo, Sendai.
