It is said that Japan experiences up to 1,500 seismic events every year (including tremors).
Even spread across a year, this is a massive amount of instances spread across a year's time. I am curious how such occurrences affect everyday life. I would imagine that everything from safety precautions to building infrastructure is influenced by such events.
I watched a documentary in which it stated their more advanced trains (bullet trains) are programmed to stop when seismic activity is detected.
If you live in Japan - can you share some insight on how disruptive seismic activity is for society?
