Earthquakes M5.5+ around Japan (1900–2016) M7.0–7.9=163 EQs, M8.0+=14 EQs. [1] This is a list of earthquakes in Japan with either a magnitude greater than or equal to 7.0 or ...
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) officially named this earthquake the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (Japanese: 令和6年能登半島地震, Hepburn: Reiwa 6-nen Noto-hantō Jishin). [5] It led to Japan's first major tsunami warning since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake , [ 6 ] and a tsunami of 6.58 m (22 ft) was measured along the Sea of ...
A seismogram recorded in Massachusetts, United States. The magnitude 9.1 (M w) undersea megathrust earthquake occurred on 11 March 2011 at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) in the north-western Pacific Ocean at a relatively shallow depth of 32 km (20 mi), [9] [56] with its epicenter approximately 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku, Japan, lasting approximately six minutes.

2021 Fukushima earthquake. Multiple. The largest is an Mw 6.0. An intense and deadly seismic event struck offshore east of Tōhoku, Japan. The M JMA 7.3 or M w 7.1 earthquake occurred on a Saturday night at 23:07 JST (14:07 UTC) on 13 February at a focal depth of 44.0 kilometers (27.3 mi). [6]
The Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo 7) is the maximum intensity in the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale, covering earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 and up. [15] At Intensity 7, it becomes impossible to move at will. [13] The intensity was created following the 1948 Fukui earthquake.
Japan issued a “megaquake advisory” following a 7.1-magnitude earthquake off its coast. That raised the risk of a larger quake on the Nankai Trough, an underwater subduction zone.
