Japan sits at the junction of four tectonic plates and
experiences a number of relatively violent quakes every year, but rigid
building codes and their strict enforcement mean even strong tremors often do
little damage.
A massive undersea quake however that hit in March 2011 sent
a tsunami barrelling into Japan’s northeast coast, leaving more than 18,000
people dead or missing, and sending three reactors into meltdown at the
Fukushima nuclear plant.
In April, two strong earthquakes hit southern Japan’s
Kumamoto prefecture followed by more than 1,700 aftershocks, leaving at least
50 dead and causing widespread damage.
