The March 11, 2011 earthquake took place on the Pacific Ocean floor on the east coast of Honshu, Japan, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of the city of Sendai.
The Northeastern coast of Japan . Note: Their Nuclear Power Plants released chemicals into the air because of the earthquake. VERY VERY BAD!!!! (May affect LA)
An earthquake off the coast caused it.
The epicenter for the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011 was reported to be 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku, near Sendai.
The 2011 Japan tsunami was caused by a 9.0 magnitude undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan. The earthquake triggered a powerful tsunami that devastated coastal areas, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
The Japanese earthquake in 2011 occurred off the coast of Tohoku in northeast Japan. It triggered a devastating tsunami that caused widespread destruction and resulted in the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The 2011 earthquake in Japan happened on March 11 It was off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku was a magnitude 9.0–9.1.
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 next significant earthquake after the March 11, 2011 quake in Japan was a magnitude 8.6 earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra on April 11, 2012.
Before the tsunami in Japan in 2011, a massive undersea earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan, measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale. This earthquake generated a powerful tsunami that caused extensive devastation along the northeast coast of Japan. Thousands of lives were lost, and there was widespread destruction of infrastructure and communities.
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.
Yes, the devastating tsunami that occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011, was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0. The earthquake, known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, generated massive ocean waves that resulted in the tsunami.
The earthquake was first and caused the tsunami, like when you throw a stone into a pond first and then the ripples go out.
