The 2011 Japan earthquake illustrates the complexity of managing natural disasters in even the most developed and prepared nations. The event prompted further refinements in disaster preparedness and response in Japan and globally, highlighting the need for continuous assessment and adaptation to seismic risks.
Japan 2011 Earthquake Case Study
The 2011 Japan Earthquake: Tōhoku. Japan experienced one of its largest seismic events on March 11 2011. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred 70km off the coast of the northern island of Honshu where the Pacific and North American plate meet. It is the largest recorded earthquake to hit Japan and is in the top five in the world since records ...
Japan Earthquake 2011
Japan earthquake 2011 Case Study What? An earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter Scale struck off Japan's northeast coast, about 250 miles (400km) from Tokyo at a depth of 20 miles. When? The magnitude 9.0 earthquake happened at 2:46 pm (local time) on Friday, March 11, 2011.
Sara Merken's Case Study on 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
This event caused mass destruction, killing thousands and displacing more than 450,000. While Japan deployed a quick response, gaps in disaster management plans led to a worldwide impact. Merken reviews the global impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake, analyzing the role played by Japan's disaster response protocol in this case study.
Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011
Japan earthquake and tsunami, severe natural disaster that occurred in northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and killed at least 20,000 people. A powerful earthquake off the coast of Honshu also generated a series of large tsunami waves that devastated many coastal areas and triggered a major nuclear accident.

The magnitude 9.0 2011 Tohoku earthquake struck 30KM offshore of Japan, along a subduction zone where two of Earth's tectonic plates collide. In a subduction zone, one plate slides beneath another into the mantle, the hotter layer beneath the crust. Less than an hour after the earthquake, the first of many tsunami waves hit Japan's coastline.
Tohoku, Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Disaster
Case Study. Background. On March 11, 2011, an earthquake shook the pacific coast of Japan. This earthquake was a 9.0 magnitude, which initiated a Tsunami across the Pacific Coast, crashing into a 400km stretch on the coast of Tohoku. ...
