Japan sits on a subduction zone, which is where one plate is being forced beneath another. It is also at the meeting point of two pieces of the giant Pacific plate, which are moving in different directions along side each other. Japan hardly goes through a day without a minor or minuscule tremor or quake. Each year there are only a small amount of earthquakes that actually have a structural or devastating effect on a certain location. The strongest earthquake to hit Japan was in Tokyo and Yokohama on September 1, 1923. More than one-hundred and thirty-thousand people were killed do t the structural damage and the fires that were caused by the quake. Thousands of homes were crumbled to pieces, and many homes were burned
