Location

Why do earthquakes happen? Japan is one of the most tectonically active countries in the world. This is because it sits upon a triple junction. This is the meeting of three tectonic plates. These plates boundaries cause friction which leads to earthquakes.

Cause- Plate boundaries The Eurasian, Filipino and North American plates all meet just off Japan’s southern coastlines. Japan has a history of major earthquakes such as the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923 and Kobe earthquake in 1995.

Primary effects of the earthquake The initial earthquake caused a large amount of damage. Violent shaking caused buildings to collapse Liquefaction occurred destroying the soil structure in the ground.

Secondary effects of the earthquake- tsunami The earthquake occurred just offshore, triggering a large tsunami. The wave was up to 10 metres high when it struck Japan and it also caused damage in parts of the USA such as Hawaii.

Secondary effects of the earthquake- nuclear risk The earthquake and tsunami caused a major incident at 2 nuclear reactors. The Fukushima (above) and Onagawa nuclear plants both suffered damage and a nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima. This could expose people to harmful radiation.

Secondary effects of the earthquake- fire The earthquake caused many fires. A particularly severe fire occurred at the Cosmo oil depot. There were also major fires in the city of Kesennuma.

Some things to think about: Why do earthquakes happen? Why do earthquakes occur in Japan? Why did the earthquake cause a tsunami? How long will it take Japan to recover? How will the rescue effort be conducted? What can be learned from this earthquake and tsunami and applied in the future? Why do you think Japan are so reliant on nuclear energy?
