What is the recent tusnami name that just hit japan on march 11 2011?

Question:




Answer:


Tsunamis do not have names. Since they were caused by earthquakes, and an earthquake does not have names neither does a Tsunami.

Earthquakes do not have names. the 2011 earthquake in the Tōhoku region that was offshore was just the AREA of impact. They do not designate names for earthquakes in earthquake prone areas. In that case they would have named every one or designated a number to it. This is not the first time there had been an earthquake there, nor the last. So was this The Tōhoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake #211??
No.
That's just where it happened, not its name.

They describe the earthquake as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, but neither were given names. Tōhoku region Pacific Ocean offshore is just a literal description of the area.

Hope this helps.
