How much damage was caused by the 2011 Japan earthquake?

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the March 11, 2011 magnitude 9.0 earthquake (originally reported as 8.9) 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".According to several US news organizations including CBSNEWS, the USGS provided a comparison to gain perspective of Japan's recent earthquake.It was cited that"USGS compared Japan's earthquake with two well known quakes: last year's earthquake in Haiti and the historic 1906 San Francisco quake.The USGS calculated Friday's magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan to be 700 times stronger than Haiti's recent magnitude 7.0 earthquake, which devastated Port-au-Prince and killed more than 300,000 people.When comparing to the 1906 earthquake, the USGS has figured that Japan's earthquake is equivalent to 30 of the San Francisco earthquakes."U.S. government scientists at USGS originally put the Japan quake at 8.9. The change to 9.0 means that the quake was about 1.5 times stronger than initially thought.The Japan quake is now the fourth largest in the world since 1900 behind the 2004 magnitude-9.1 Sumatra quake.UPDATE: Official magnitude was updated to 9.1 on Nov 7, 2016.

What can cause damage days or months after an earthquake?

Damage days or months after an earthquake can be caused by structural weaknesses that were not initially apparent, such as hairline cracks or weakened foundations. Aftershocks or secondary events triggered by the earthquake, like landslides or flooding, can also contribute to ongoing damage. Inadequate repairs or maintenance post-earthquake can further exacerbate existing structural issues.

How many tsunamis have made the US worst earth quake list?

A tsunami is caused by an earthquake, which means that the earthquake would make the Earthquake list. Whether the list would include information on the created tsunami is unknown. Magnitude doesn't always correlate directly to the magnitude of the earthquake nor does it have a direct relationship with the number of deaths or the amount of destruction caused.The highest magnitude Earthquake was recorded in Chile in 1960 with a Magnitude of 9.5. ThisEarthquake created a tsunami that was initially 82 feet high, diminished to 35 feet when it hit the island of Hilo and only 15 feet when it reached Japan.The 2nd worst recorded Earthquake occurred December 26th, 2004 Earthquake Magnitude 9.1-9.3.This quake created 5 tsunamis.The largest/tallest recorded tsunami was created by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that generated a wave 1720 feet high.
