The fault line at Sanriku has caused a few notable earthquakes throughout history. In every case, the damage caused by the quake itself is very little compared to the tsunami that it triggers. The force of the earth shifting causes a strong current in the ocean that has considerably more power than the average wave, simply by the sheer volume of water it contains.

Are aftershocks the primary or secondary effects of an earthquake?
The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction
Which point refers to the epicenter of an earthquake?
The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originated, known as the focus. It is the point where the seismic waves are most intense and where the effects of the earthquake are often most severe.
What are earthquake after earthquake?
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
How does distance change earthquake effects?
The closer you are to the earthquake's epicenter, the stronger the shaking and potential damage. As distance increases, the intensity of the shaking decreases. However, other factors like the type of soil and building construction can also influence the effects of an earthquake at a given distance.
Cause and effect of earthquake?
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, which creates seismic waves that shake the ground. The effects of an earthquake can include ground shaking, landslides, tsunamis, and structural damage to buildings and infrastructure. The severity of the effects depends on factors such as the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and proximity to populated areas.

In what way does the magnitude of an earthquake relate to its estimated effects?
The Richter scale is related to the effects of an earthquake rather than the energy released.
What was the largest earthquake Japan had experienced before the 2011 earthquake?
Prior to the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in March 2011, the previous record for the largest magnitude was 8.5 on June 15, 1896 in Sanriku, Japan.
