Why did japan face such a Tsunami?

Question:


Tsunami - japan

Answer:


Japan lies in the middle of a four plate intersection (North American plate, Eurasian plate, Filipino plate and the Pacific plate). The Pacific plate and North American plate are pushing into each other. The Pacific plate slipped under the North American plate causing it to jut upwards and this sudden movement caused the Tsunami.
