Pea hes aa 16 26 35 a An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 on the Richter scale occurred in the north-eastern part of Japan on 1] March, 2011. It triggered a massive tsunami which caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster, It was the largest earthquake recorded in Japan, In 1923, another earthquake of magnitude 8.3 on the Richter seale occurred in Japan, The table below shows some information about these (wo earthquakes: Great Kant5 Earthquake | Great East Japan Earthguake Date | September, 1923 1 March, 2011 Magnitude on the Richter scale 83 | 9.0 Duration of the earthquake | Around 4to 10 minutes | Around 5 10 6 minutes Number of deaths > 100 000) > 15 000% (Th deaths were mainly ase by the tom.) We can measure the amplitude (A units) of seismic waves produced by an earthquake and its logarithms (expressed in terms of log) to calculate the magnitude (M) of the earthquake on the Richter scale.
