What is Tohoku Earthquake: Causes and Impacts about?
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was caused by tectonic plate movement along the boundary between the North American and Pacific plates. As the North American plate slid over the Pacific plate, it caused displacement of the seafloor off the coast of Japan. This triggered a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake and devastating tsunami. Over 15,000 people were killed and infrastructure like buildings, roads, and ports were severely damaged. Scientists are researching methods like monitoring ionosphere activity
