Japan was shaken by the earthquake. The eastern edge of Tokyo was shaken around 5:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday (August 4). The magnitude of the earthquake was 8 on the Richter scale. Olympic organizers, competitors, and journalists in the Games Village reportedly felt tremors for about three minutes.he epicenter was reported at about 30 km below sea level.
A journalist in Tokyo tweeted, "There is an earthquake in Tokyo. I have been feeling the vibration for the last 30 seconds. '
Another tweeted, "I felt a slight tremor for about three minutes." An Australian journalist was broadcasting at the time. There is an earthquake in it. He told about the earthquake in that showThere are frequent earthquakes in Japan. There is also fear of a tsunami. However, the Japan Meteorological Agency said no tsunami alert was issued. The Games Village and various stadiums have been built in such a way that they are not damaged by earthquakes.Due to the geographical location of Japan, the country felt more earthquakes than any other country in the world. An average of 2,000 earthquakes occurs in the country each year. Even in 2011, there were more than 10,000 earthquakes in the country. However, the interesting thing is that this earthquake does not hit all regions of the country. This is especially true in the capital, Tokyo. Most earthquakes are mild.The structure of the earth is roughly divided into three parts. Firstly, the saline and hard surface of the exterior (thickness about 30 km), secondly, below it which is a kind of dense and sticky part of 2900 km thick and thirdly the central surface of three and a half thousand diameters. The surface of the thick and sticky part of the second part is divided into seven parts.
These are the tectonic plates. Name of the plates - Pacific, Eurasian, African, Atlantic, North American, South American, and Indo-Australian. Earthquakes are caused when one of the tectonic plates collides or collides with the other.According to experts, Japan is located in the ‘Ring of Fire’ region of the Pacific Ocean. Ring of Fire means a ball of fire. The Ring of Fire is an imaginary belt that encircles the Pacific Ocean region, like a hoof. The regions covered by this Ring of Fire are the most seismic. This ring of fire is the cause of 90 percent of earthquakes.
The 40,000-kilometer-long Ring of Fire region contains 452 active volcanoes, accounting for 75 percent of the world's total volcanoes. This region includes Japan in Asia, Tonga in Polynesia, and Ecuador in South America. So there are more earthquakes in these areas.
