The tsunami hit Japan on the 11th of March 2011.
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit off the east coast of Japan was followed by a tsunami that killed many leaving thousands homeless and children without parents.
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the shore of Japan occurred at 2:46 p.m. (local time) on March 11, 2011. The U.S. Geological Survey agency said this was the biggest quake to hit Japan since record-keeping began in the late 1800s and one of the biggest ever recorded in the world.
Fact is that Japan has so many earthquakes that only the really big ones are news worthy. Japan lies on activity tectonic plates so there are earthquakes in that area each and every day but most of those are too small to be noticed.
In 1923 the earthquake struck Tokyo, Japan the magnitude of this earthquake was 8.4!
that was the big one ever in Tokyo could be again in the future

There is a small to moderate risk of a major earthquake in Mexico. Last earthquakes with major loss of live were recorded on 1957 and 1985 with magnitudes of 7.9 and 8.1 on the Richter scale.
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
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.
18 years.
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!
