an earthquake happens
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
Like anywhere else, the earthquakes in Japan were caused by tectonic plates sliding against each other.

Most earthquakes happen at the plates because the plates (continental plates) sometimes move. If it moves and slides against another one going the other way, the plates' connecting part will tremble and shake and fall apart. It starts like this: 1. The plates start to move. The land between, roads, and other things bend. 2. The plates suddenly break, and some of the roads get carried away, so everything falls apart.
Fault lines - are 'cracks' in the Earth's crust, which creates large 'plates'. The plates 'float' on the magma under the surface - allowing them to move. When these plates rub against each other - it causes earthquakes.
the 2 plates that go around the world are rubbing against each other trying to go past and that makes an earthquake
