Its
Location...
Japan
is
located
along
the
so-called
Pacific
Ring
of
Fire.
This
is
the
most
active
earthquake
belt
in
the
world.
Pacific
Ring
of
Fire
It
is
an
imaginary
horseshoe-shaped
zone
that
follows
the
rim
of
the
Pacific
Ocean.
This
is
the
place
where
many
of
the
world's
earthquakes
and
volcanic
eruptions
occur.
What
Actually
Causes
These
Earthquakes?
The
tectonic
plates
that
are
present
in
the
Ring
of
Fire
and
beneath
the
Philippine
Sea
or
the
Pacific
Ocean
tend
to
mash
and
collide.
This
collision
causes
earthquakes.
Do
All
Earthquakes
Lead
To
A
Tsunami?
Not
all
earthquakes
trigger
tsunamis.
The
earthquake
has
to
be
shallow
or
the
quake's
epicenter
has
to
be
underneath
the
ocean
and
most
importantly,
an
earthquake
must
be
at
least
a
magnitude-7
temblor
to
trigger
a
tsunami.
