Because the island of Japan lies in an area where several plates meet, it has experienced frequent earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the release of energy or seismic waves when these plates move. See the related links below for a list of earthquakes that have hit Japan in the past. The most recent earthquake and biggest to ever hit Japan occured March 11, 2011 and measured 8.9 on the Richter scale.
