The main shock occurred at 02:31 AM local time on March 3, 1933 (17:31 UTC March 2, 1933), and measured 8.4 on the moment magnitude scale. [2] It was in approximately the same location as the 1896 Sanriku earthquake and it occurred far enough away from the town that shaking did little damage.
This is a list of earthquakes in 1933. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are included if they have caused death, injury or damage. Events which occurred in remote areas will be excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest.

In March 2011, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan struck off the Sanriku coast, setting off a 10 metres (33 feet) tsunami. The 9.0-magnitude quake near Tohoku was comparable in scale to undersea seismic events near Indonesia in 2004 (3rd largest on record) and near Chile in 2010 (6th largest). [ 13 ]
