    The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.1 There wasn't a fear of a tsunami because a warning was not issued. The earthquake happened because Japan is on the "Ring Of Fire" and about 90% of the world's earthquakes occur there.

    The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.0. There was no fear of an earthquake. Since Japan is located along The Ring of Fire it experiences a lot of earthquakes.

  4. The magnitude of the earth quake was 6.1 that earth quake on march 11 magnitude was 9.0 so the difference was great. They did not issue a tsunami warning so there was no fear. The earth quake happened because japan is located on the ring of fire which has 90% of earth quakes.

    The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.1. There was no fear of a tsunami because they didn't expect one. Japan lies on the "Ring of Fire" — an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim, so I think that's what caused the earthquake. About 90% of the world's quakes occur in the area.

  12. The magnitude of the earthquale was 6.1. There was fear of a tsunami because earlier this year there was a tsunami that was caused by an earthquake, and there was a lot of damage. Japan lies in the Ring of Fire, a volcanic and earthquake zone, where 90% of the world's earthquakes occur in this area, which could have something to do with the happening of this earthquake.

    There may not have been a warning issued ofr a tsunami, but earlier this year, Japan experienced a major earthquake that led to a highly destructive tsunami, so there had to have been some fear.

  21. @Alex Stevens there was no fear of the Tsunami because it wasn't a high destructive earthquake like earlier this year and they didn't issue a warning. The majority did not fear that another Tsunami would occur.

    We learned that the earthquake was quite strong. There wasnt a problem with tsunami's because there was no warning of one. The earthquake happened because Japan is in the ring of fire. We also learned Japan is very prone to earthquakes.

    We feel bad for the poor people in Japan, they had a horrible earthquake and now they had another! Now they had even more to clean up. The earthquake's magnitude was 6.1! It must have damaged even more so those poor people have twice as much to clean up again and we're sure it stopped any progress they were making of cleaning it up. Many people feared tsunamis would hit because this was a huge earthquake and sadly for them, one did hit. The cause of the earthquakes was the moment of the tectonic plates, which cause most earthquakes. We both hope that Japan soon recovers and that no more earthquakes ravage poor Japan, or they at least build more sturdy homes.

    Bailee: I know that is sad that they are in one of the most frequent earthquake spots and they don't have time to repair the damages that one quake caused before they get another one.
    Kat: I do not feel that I would like to live in such an area. I do not feel that the risk is worth it to have a nice house in that area. It seems like it is very costly to do such a thing.
    Meara: It would be terrible to live in such a catastrophic area. they have hardly any time to fix the previous damages and now they have to cope with this.

  61. The magnitude of that earthquake was 6.0. Their fear was to lose alot of lives and homes.The thing that caused the earthquake was the plates.Another thing that I learned was that earthquakes can sometime cause tsunamis.

The earthquake was caused because Japan lies on the Ring Of Fire.
