Because it is located near the ring of fire, therefore it is more exposed to the tension between the tetonic plates. (Most of the movement of the tectonic plates causes earthquakes)
Yes, Japan is an earthquake-prone spot. Japan is more likely to have earthquakes than many other countries.
Japan. It has a lot of earthquakes, and is one of the most affected areas in the world. Because of their technology level (compared to countries like Indonesia and Fiji), Japan is the country with the most earthquakes reported each year. Though, that doesn't mean it's the country with the most earthquakes. But it certainly has more earthquakes than California.
Japan
Indonesia is in a very active seismic zone, also, but by virtue of its larger size than Japan, it has more total earthquakes.
They are worried about there survival and are worried that there is goin to be no more japan :( :( :( :(
Japan gets tons of earthquakes, about one every year, because of Japan's position. Japan sits on a subduction zone, meaning plates slide under another causing friction and earthquakes. Sometimes, Japan will get a tsunami caused by their frequent earthquakes.
earthquakes mostly happen where two or more continental plates meet and the push or rub together. japan is over more than one continental plate.wheras Australia is only on one continental plate
Japan is located closer to tectonic plates in the ocean than Korea.
Depends on who YOU are, but most likely the answer is yes. Japan is very dangerous and pretty much the most alarmed country about earthquakes
Japan gets over 1000 earthquakes a year. So it is likely that there was more than that hit during that period of time, however if one did hit it would have probably been marked as an aftershock.
Japan experiences more earthquakes per year per km2 than any other country.
More people were killed in Kobe, Japan than in California when both earthquakes were of similar strength and occurred in heavily populated cities because the people of Kobe, Japan than in California because they were not prepared for the earthquake.
