The 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck the country's east coast at 11:07 p.m. Saturday February 13th, 2021.

During that 15,894 people died. 90% of those deaths were caused by drowning and 2,546 people went missing.

The thirty-eighth depression, ninth typhoon, and third super typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, it was the strongest typhoon in decades to strike mainland Japan, and one of the largest typhoons ever recorded, with a peak gale-force diameter of 825 nautical miles (950 mi; 1529 km). Hagibis was also the deadliest typhoon to strike Japan since Typhoon Tip in 1979. Its death toll is marginally higher than that of Typhoon Bess in 1982 and Typhoon Tokage in 2004.]]> 2021-03-03 20:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1265894511 Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, there was speculation in the media that the shock may induce volcanic unrest at Mount Fuji. In September 2012, mathematical models created by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NRIESDP) suggested that the pressure in Mount Fuji's magma chamber could be 1.6 megapascals higher than it was before its last eruption in 1707. This was interpreted by some media outlets to mean that an eruption of Mount Fuji could be imminent.[43] However, since there is no known method of directly measuring the pressure of a volcano's magma chamber, indirect calculations of the type used by NRIESDP are speculative and unverifiable. Other indicators suggestive of heightened eruptive danger, such as active fumaroles and recently discovered faults, are typical occurrences at this type of volcano.[44] 22darlingb https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1265911553 2021-03-03 20:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1265911553 Mount Ontake Volcano 22hymesa https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1265915952 A volcanic eruption of Mount Ontake took place on September 27, 2014, killing 63 people.

This earthquake was recored to have a magnatuide of 9.1. After the earthquake a tsunami came with waves up to 33 feet. It killed over 15,000 people. This as also the biggest earthquake to hit Japan at the time and it was top 5 of biggest earthquaks in the world. ]]> 2021-03-05 07:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1272726437 More on the Tsunami of 2011 https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275417290 This deviating tsunami lasted 2 1/2 hours]]> 2021-03-05 20:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275417290 https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275422934 the most recent earthquake near japan was a 5.8 magnitude and affected japan as well as Russia.]]> 2021-03-05 20:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275422934 https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275426514 2021-03-05 20:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275426514 Great Kantō earthquake 22aiellor https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275429061 A 7.9 earthquake which hit in 1923 resulted in many deaths and disasters. It lasted about 4-10 minutes and produced even fire tornados. ]]> 2021-03-05 20:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275429061 v https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275472657 2021-03-05 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275472657 Season Typhoon ranges https://padlet.com/edickson1/2ug7m45syir7hdls/wish/1275496172 Japan's typhoon season ranges from May to October each year, peaking in August and September.

Typhoons in 2009

 

Typhoon Sinlaku in 2002
In August 2009, 13 people died and 15 were missing when Typhoon No. 9 struck central Japan, with the worst hit areas south of Osaka in Hyogo and Okayama Prefectures. Twelve of the dead and eight of the missing were caught up in floods in Hyogo Prefecture. Some of them were washed away by flooded rivers, caused by heavy rains that fell at rates exceeding 70 millimeters an hour, as they tried to make their way to evacuation centers. Six people from two families reported missing are believed to have been swept away by the swollen Sayogawa River.
