Japan

No. It is only one of many times that an earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. Earthquakes in subduction zones such as the one of the coast of Japan often trigger tsunamis. The March 2011 earthquake, at magnitude 9.0, was the strongest on record in Japan though.

The Japan Trench is about 8,046 meters (26,398 feet) deep at its deepest point, which is one of the deepest parts of the Earth's oceans. The earthquake in Japan in 2011 occurred along the seafloor of the Japan Trench, resulting in a devastating tsunami.

Around the 13th of March... Not FULLY SURE, but that's the time the news started showing the disaster.

It began on the 11th of march in sendai

There is no way of knowing yet. With the aftershocks going on and rubble everywhere, no one can get an exact headcount as of right now.

So far, from 15th March 2011, over 10,000 people are dead.

The earthquake that triggered Japan's tsunami in 2011 had a latitude of 38.297°N and a longitude of 142.372°E. The earthquake occurred off the coast of the northeastern region of Japan's main island of Honshu.

Sendai (city in Tōhoku district) was hit hardest by the earthquake, but the tsunami affected many more areas.

The largest number of deaths due to earthquakes and tsunami on March 11, 2012 were in the Iwate and Miyagi prefectures in the Tōhoku region of Japan.

Miyagi prefecture had the largest amount of property damage.

No, the Nintendo factory in Japan was not directly hit by the tsunami in 2011. However, the company did face some production delays and challenges due to the overall impact of the natural disaster on the region's infrastructure and supply chain.

Parts of Japan near the epicenter moved over 4 meters, both vertically and laterally, as a result of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Areas further away in Japan also moved, but not as significantly. You can view a map of the displacement with a short description at the related link.

As of now, more than 15,000 people have been confirmed dead in Japan following the tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011. Additionally, thousands more were injured and went missing as a result of the disaster.

Yes, the massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in 2011 caused the Earth to move (shift on its axis) by about 17 centimeters. This movement slightly altered the distribution of Earth's mass, which affected its rotation speed and caused changes in the length of a day by a few microseconds.

The Japan earthquake in 2011 lasted for about 6 minutes.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center estimated first arrival around 7 1/2 hours after the quake, or around 3:15am HST.

The tsunami's height was recorded to be about 33 feet. Many counts say that the number is much higher, even as high as a 3-4 story building.

The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, is considered one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. It had a magnitude of 9.0 and triggered a devastating tsunami, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.

The tsunami has hit the East side of Japan, and will also hit Hawaii (with great impact with waves up to 2.1m) and the East coast of the rest of United States (in for instance California). Other places like Taiwan, Philipines, New Zealand might also be affected.

No, Tsunami is not a city in Japan. A tsunami is a natural disaster caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that lead to massive sea waves. Tsunami waves can cause significant damage to coastal areas.

Massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake happened off coast of Japan on Friday, March 11th 2011 at 2:46pm local time (05:46 GMT), which triggered the tsunami that hit Japan a few minutes later.

The first waves hit Hawaii about 9 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) later that day.

No. The earthquake happened on the East side of Japan, and the Korean peninsula is opposite the Northwest coastline of the Japanese home islands.

The Great East Japan Earthquake, also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, occurred at 2:46 PM JST on March 11, 2011. The earthquake triggered a powerful tsunami that struck the east coast of Japan shortly after.

There have been no reports of a recent tsunami hitting Misawa, Japan. Tsunamis are rare events but are always a possibility due to the seismic activity in the region. It is important for residents to stay prepared and informed about evacuation procedures in case of a tsunami warning.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake. The resulting tsunami itself is given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Asian Tsunami, Indonesian Tsunami, and Boxing Day Tsunami. The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunami along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing nearly 230,000 people in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand were the hardest hit.

See below for a link to a list of all the expected landing times for the tsunami, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Note from the source: This list gives estimated times of arrival for locations along the North American Pacific coast from a tsunami generated at the given source location. THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival time is the initial wave arrival. Tsunamis can be dangerous for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not necessarily the largest.

Waves triggered by the 8.9 earthquake measured as high as 10 meters according to news reports. The water washed over many cities, knocking over homes and cars in its path.

A 9.0-magnitude earthquake at sea rocked Japan, causing a massive tsunami with waves up to 30 feet high. The quake happened when one of the earth's plates slid under another, displacing a large amount of water, which caused the tsunami.

Damage from fire and flooding was extensive. The death toll as of March 12 is still uncertain but is over 10,000.
