Why do earthquakes occur in Japan?
Japan Earthquake , Japan experiences frequent earthquakes because it is located on the ” Pacific Ring of Fire “. This is an area where tectonic plates collide with each other and move from their place, due to which earthquakes occur. Apart from this, earthquakes occur frequently in Japan because this area is more active for seismic and volcanic activities and there is always a danger of tsunami here because when an earthquake occurs under the sea, a tsunami is generated, hence the people here are always prepared to escape from earthquakes.
The administration appealed to stay in safe places
After the Japan Earthquake incident, the administration in Japan has appealed to all citizens to stay in safe places so that there is no loss of life and property in any way. Although earthquakes occur frequently in Japan, therefore, earthquake experts there keep issuing warnings from time to time and keep themselves safe from these natural disasters due to their earthquake preparedness. That is why, despite being a highly earthquake-prone area, there is not much damage due to earthquakes here.
