Japan is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area prone to seismic activity. The tsunami in Japan was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake that occurred off the northeastern coast on March 11, 2011. The earthquake caused the seafloor to lift up, displacing a large volume of water and generating the tsunami.
The epicenter for the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011 was located at 38.297°N, 142.372°E. The tsunami originated from the epicenter. For a map showing how the tsunami traveled around the world see related question below.
