The M w 7.5 earthquake occurred on March 25. The earthquake was the largest to occur in Russia since the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake. [17] It was initially reported as 7.8 M w , before being downgraded to 7.5. [18] This shock was a result of near-trench intraplate compressional faulting within the descending Pacific plate.

Earthquakes associated with the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone are of the megathrust type. The subduction zone is associated with at least two known ~9.0 M w earthquakes in the pre-instrumental period; 1737 and 1841. [6] The 1737 earthquake measured M w 9.0–9.3, and generated the largest known tsunami (60 meters) on the peninsula. [7]
