    The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, or the Great East Japan Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw). The tsunami caused a number of nuclear accidents, primarily the ongoing level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure.

    The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometres inland. The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast amid warnings of a tsunami of between six and 10 metres. Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami, while a four-metre wave swamped parts of Kamaishi on the Pacific coast. Residents have been ordered to high ground and stay away from the coast as tsunamis can strike in several waves. Seismologists say the quake was 160 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch last month.

  • The earthquake and tsunami led to soul searching in a nation already worn down by two lost decades of economic growth, a rapidly aging and now shrinking population, political paralysis and the rapid rise of its longtime rival, China.
  • Naoto Kan, who had failed to galvanize Japan after the disaster and was forced to resign.

  • This generated negative publicity, especially in South Korea and China. 
  • n December, Mr. Noda announced that technicians had regained control of reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, declaring an end to the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernoybl.
  • But for many of the people of Fukushima, the crisis is far from over. More than 160,000 people remain displaced, and even as the government lifts evacuation orders for some communities, many are refusing to return home.

      this tells us that the tsunami on japan is even more powerful than the one that was on thailand over 5 years ago,
  • Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.
  • A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels.
  • Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher.
  • The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate.
  • Measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, it struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km. The tsunami rolled across the Pacific at 800km/h (500mph) - as fast as a jetliner - before hitting Hawaii and the US West Coast, but there were no reports of major damage from those regions.
