What else can I help you with?
What fault line does Japan sit on?
Japan sit on the Median Tectonic Fault Line
Why does Japan get earthquakes and not London?
Japan is near to a fault line.
What is the name of the Kobe japan fault?
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.
What fault line is Japan on?
Japan is located near a triple fault line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate (the Japan Trench) and the Philippine plate (the Nankai Trough).
What type of fault is mount fuji on?

Why did earthquake Kobe occur in Japan?

Why did Japanese engineers build such a preponderance of nuclear generation plant on a known fault line?
The plants are not built on a fault line. The whole of Japan is 'near' a fault line and there is no real difference as to where you build them in Japan. Also the problem was not the fault (earthquake) it was the secondary Tsunami that has done the damage. The problem is that pressure water reactors need to be build by the sea so that the sea can be used as a heat sink.
What type of fault is the Niagara?
The Niagara Escarpment is not a fault line at all; it appears to be a fault line due to unequal erosion. It spans about 650 miles in the Great Lakes region.
This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?
A reverse fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line. This type of fault is associated with compressional stress where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are common in regions undergoing compression, such as convergent plate boundaries.
