It caused a huge fire that burned down the wooden (non fire resistant) buildings. The fire caused most of the damage, not the earthquake.
An earthquake
Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's plates interact with each other. The majority happen in regions known as the "Ring of Fire," which encircles the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by frequent seismic activity due to subduction zones, transform faults, and divergent boundaries. Other significant earthquake-prone areas include the Himalayan region and the Mediterranean-Asian belt. The movement of these tectonic plates causes stress to build up, which is released as seismic energy during an earthquake.
The world's most active earthquake and volcano region is known as the Ring of Fire. It is a horseshoe-shaped zone in the Pacific Ocean basin where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Japan is one of the most earthquake prone countries, as it is situated on the Ring of Fire of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is an area of high volcanic, earthquake, and tsunami activity. Japan has different scaled earthquakes, some small and some large.
The pacific plate :)
The largest and most active earthquake zone is the Pacific Rim of Fire, also known as the Ring of Fire. This is a roughly horseshoe-shaped ring around the entire Pacific basin which is characterised by frequent seismic activity - especially around regions such as California and Japan.
Japan is on the ring of fire, most of the mountains there are volcanos resulting from the subduction of the pacific plate under the asian plate.
The first notable earthquake was April 18, 1906, which was the cause of the great San Francisco earthquake and fire. In 1989 there was an earthquake in San Francisco Bay Area and was a 6.9 and killed 63 people. This quake is known as the "Quake of '89" or the "World Series Earthquake".
When the Captial of the United States was being burned in the war of 1812, the fire was stopped because a hurricane, a tornado, and an earthquake happened all in the same place. It doused the fire and killed most of the invading British troops.
The most recent earthquake in Russia was the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake. The second most recent earthquake in Russia was the 2008 Chechnya earthquake.
