The Japan earthquake in 2011 was triggered by a 9.0 magnitude undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Tohoku. This earthquake caused a powerful tsunami that devastated the region and led to significant damage and loss of life.
The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, was triggered by a sudden slip along a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is forced beneath the North American Plate. This movement caused a massive release of energy, generating the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated much of eastern Japan.
The earthquake in Japan lasted about 3-5 minutes.
The Japan tsunami in 2011 was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the northeastern coast of Japan. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.0, caused the seafloor to uplift, displacing a large volume of water and generating the tsunami that struck the coast.
The earthquake that hit Japan in 2011 is commonly known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, or the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It occurred on March 11, 2011, and had a magnitude of 9.0, triggering a devastating tsunami.

By the tectonic plates slipping.
The estimate of the earthquake magnitude was adjusted from 8.9 to 9.0.
An earthquake that hit japan started the tsunami
It happened when the micromagnetic plates in the earth's core started to shift up to make the earthquake happen. God bless Japan
