Japan is one of the most earthquake-stricken countries in the world, accounting for about 20% of global earthquakes with magnitude 0 or higher.

Like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the damage caused by the rapidly rising water is more local, but more deadly and devastating than the actual earthquake. The whole town was destroyed in Japan's tsunami disaster area including 9,500 people who were missing from Minami Sanriku, and as of March 14, 2011, the town collected 1,000 bodies. One of the factors that have contributed to numerous deaths from the tsunami is unexpectedly large amounts of water. Tsunami walls in several affected cities were made to prevent much lower tsunamis. In addition, many people arrested in the tsunami thought that they were high enough to secure their safety.

On January 26, 1700, the tsunami struck the coast of Japan without any warning. In Japan, this is a country of historical earthquake and history of tsunami, and the link between these two natural disasters is well known. A stone monument 600 years ago near the coastal city Kesennuma warns us, "Please be aware of the tsunami when an earthquake occurs." Submarine earthquakes can replace a lot of water and cause a series of waves in the ocean. In the vicinity of the coast, the waves rise high and flooding occurs in a vast area. However, the tsunami in 1700 was different, and in the scientific literature before the earthquake it was called an orphan tsunami.

The 2011 East Japan great earthquake and tsunami introduced the 2011 Tohoku Region Pacific Offshore Earthquake (Japan: "East Japan great earthquake" is a 0 level (Mw) massive earthquake on the Japanese coast). This is one of the five major earthquakes in the world since the much stronger earthquake hit Japan on Friday and the 1900 modern record. In addition, the lost earthquake ... There is a Sichuan earthquake. The size of the earthquake is 8, the place where the earthquake occurred, the capital city is in the western part of China, the capital city is Chengdu surrounded by the Sichuan basin, Sichuan Tibetan mastiff autonomous prefecture, 80 km northwest of Chengdu It is 19 kilometers , On May 12, 2008, the earthquake
