How many earthquakes happen in japan everyday?
Earthquakes will often occur in Japan once every few days, give or take. This is because Japan is located on four tectonic plates, which are constantly moving and grinding together. This tectonic activity is also responsible for Japan's mountain ranges and active volcanos. The vast majority of quakes in Japan are minor and do not cause much damage if any at all. This is due to the fact that Japan's modern structures are built to withstand earthquakes to a certain scale. However, because of its high amount of tectonic activity, Japan is more prone to get major, destructive earthquakes than most other nations; most notably the Great Kanto Earthquake (in 1923), the 6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake in 1995, and most recently the 8.9 magnitude quake that struck on 11th March 2011.
Do Japan get a lot of earthquakes?
There are so many earthquakes in Japan because the country is in what is called the Pacific Ring of Fire which is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant. Another reason why Japan has so many earquakes is because there are so many different tectonic plates (layers of the earth's crust) underneath it and each plate keeps rubbing with the other plates. Earthquakes cause a bit of damage but not a lot in Japan, this is because they have happened lots of times so people in Japan have managed create buildings that probabley won't get destroyed by an earthquake. Japan also has an Earthquake and tsunami warnings which are basically alarms so they knew when an earthquake was happening. most houses in Japan are made out of cheap, light materials so they won't kill people who are inside.

Why are there so many destructive earthquakes in japan?
Japan is stuctured mainly from volcanos and earthquakes, it is made up of these things becuase there are 3 tectonic plates near or on japan(tectonic plate=earths crust/a part of it) and the tectonic plates constantly move and the eurasain plate goes over the pacific plate which is a hard process and therefore creates the earthquake and possibly a tsunami P.S: i cant remeber the 3rd plate :3 o and on the island Hokkido there isnt many there as it is close to the 3rd one that doesnt move much :3 :D
