Step-by-step explanation:

  • Earthquakes became by movement in tectonic plate majorly at ring of fire that is the primary driver of earthquakes in Japan, where many earthquakes occur.
  • The fact that Japan is an island nation with a large coastline is also vulnerable to tsunamis and most of the Japanese population lives close to the coast due to the mountainous interior of the country.
  • A very notable damage was done in Sendai that is the big city that was the epicenter of the earthquake. An earthquake in Sendai destroyed homes and other buildings.
