How often are there earthquakes in Tokyo Japan?

Question:


I really need to know for homework are there earthquakes often? How many times are there? Please if you know please share thanks :)

Answer:


The entire nation of Japan gets around 1000 earthquakes a year. Most can't be felt by people, and even of the ones that can be the vast majority are much smaller than the one that happened in March. How often earthquakes happen in a particular spot in Japan varies and can't really be predicted like the weather. In the case of Japan, you know there is always the chance that one will happen (and you always know The Big One could start right now or happen long after you die of old age) but you can't predict exactly when or where an earthquake will strike, how big it will be, etc. You may be able to find more statistics on earthquakes in Japan through Google.
