According to the text source Japan sits on the boundary of four tectonic plates making it more vulnerable to frequent large tsunamis and Earthquakes. As it can be seen, the picture source shows the wave height in centimetres in the area around Japan. The colours vary from yellow (0cm) to black (240+). It shows that the area with the highest waves are concentrated near the shore of Japan. This shows the time when a 8.9 magnitude earthquake happened 15.2 miles underwater causing a tsunami to hit the shore of Japan wrecking the coastline. Japan has been hit by frequent earthquakes and tsunamis and according to the text source "the resulting earthquake was about 1,400 times stronger than the 6.9 magnitude Kobe". Clearly, it can be seen that Japan is a dangerous place to live because of it's earthquakes and tsunamis.

It is dangerous to live in Japan for one key reason. It lies on the boundary of four tectonic plates: Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates. This means that the tectonic plates are 'endlessly creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting again.'. This is also known as the 'ring of fire'. According to the text source 'Japan is home to 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and more than 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes.' Furthermore a '6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people and injured 26,000 in 1995'.
In addition to earthquakes Japan is also prone to frequent tsunamis as an after-effect of the earthquakes. Analysing the visual source, it is evident that Japan is hit by frequent 100cm+ waves which is a purple colour. With the highest recorded being 240cm+ which is shaded black on the visual source.
In summary, it is clearly evident that Japan is a dangerous place to live because it is constantly hit by earthquakes and tsunamis and lose of life is frequent.

The most prominent reason for why it is so dangerous to live in Japan is because it is prone to frequent earthquakes. "The 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan" and "Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates." according to the text source it is evident that Japan experiences frequent and powerful earthquakes. Furthermore, it is also stated in the text that numerous lives were lost in result to an earthquake 1400 times smaller than this one, at a magnitude of 6.9. "The resulting earthquake was about 1,400 times stronger than the 6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people and injured 26,000 in 1995."
In addition to earthquakes, Japan also experiences frequent tsunamis as a result of the earthquakes. The visual source depicts a tidal wave on the Coast of Japan with a scale of 0cm high represented by green and anywhere above 200cm represented by darker shades of black. By viewing this source it is evident that Japan does experience not only frequent, but also powerful tsunamis too as much of the tidal wave is made up of purple to black colouring, symbolising a wave higher than 100cm, even going over 200cm. It is for these reasons that Japan is a dangerous place to live in.

The most prominent reason why Japan would be dangerous to live in is because "Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates". This means that Japan is always vulnerable of experiencing earthquakes and tsunamis. " The 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck coastal Japan ", tells us that these earthquakes would have a huge impact on the society. Such impacts would include property damage major injuries and death.In addition to reason 1 Japan also has many tsunamis. In the diagram it shows the different heights of tsunamis that occur ranging from 0cm (which are represented with yellow colouring) to as high as 240+cm (represented with the black colouring). In conclusion it is evident that it would be dangerous living in Japan as it experiences frequent earthquakes and tsunamis as it sits near to the boundary of the tectonic plates and it causes many deaths and destruction.

Living in Japan would be dangerous because of multiple reasons including: That Japan experiences various earthquakes and tsunamis and that Japan resides in the 'Ring of Fire'. Referring to the text source, one significant reason is that Japan lies upon four tectonic plates, the Pacific, Filipino, Eurasian and North American. It is also evident that when the plates rub against each other, pressure builds. "These massive slabs of earth’s crust are endlessly creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting again." depicts the text source And when the pressure releases, devastating events occur, like earthquakes and tsunamis.

According to the text, Japan experienced a horrific 8.9 magnitude earthquake, that resulted in "spawning many powerful tsunamis". “Japan is one of the most seismically active areas in the world,” states John Bellini, a U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist. Evidently, Japan experiences frequent tremors, but none as devastating as this one, which was,"1,400 times stronger than the 6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people and injured 26,000 in 1995". Therefore, Japan is a dangerous are to reside in, due to the high earthquake/tsunami levels.

Another prominent reason for living in Japan to be unsafe is that Japan lies in the 'Ring of Fire'. Referring to the text source again, "the Ring of Fire is an arc that stretches along the Pacific ocean and is home to 90 percent of the world's quakes and more than 75 percent of the world's volcanoes,". This furthermore proves that Japan is highly prone to seismic activity. Furthermore, by viewing the visual source, it is evident that it is a map depicting the wave height of the Pacific Ocean. In addition, Japan's coastline experiences over 140+cm waves which indicates a possible tsunami, due to the black shading which displays over 240cm. In conclusion, Japan can be a extremely dangerous place to live in as it is highly earthquake active, due to the 4 tectonic plates, Japan resides in the Ring of Fire and in addition to earthquakes, Japan receives many tsunamis.

'Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates: the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates'. This means that Japan would experience earthquakes and tsunamis on a often basis. It is also evident that when the plates rub against each other, it builds up pressure which causes tsunamis and earthquakes.
With these natural disasters on a regular basis, there is a high chance of many deaths occurring. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake, set a result of 1400 times stronger than the Kobe 1995 earthquake that killed more than 5000 people and 26000 people injured. This proves that this 8.9 magnitude earthquake are experience as power taker.

It is dangerous to live in Japan for one main reason, as said in the text: It is prone to high magnitude Earth Quakes.
As "Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates: the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates" Japan would experience earth quakes and Tsunamis on a regular basis.
With such earthquakes many deaths would occur. The 1995 Kobe earthquake was approximately 1,400 times weaker than the most recent one and had more than 5000 mortalities, according to the text. These multiple deaths caused by frequent, high magnitude earth quakes is a prominent reason why it would be dangerous to live in Japan.
A final reason why it would be dangerous to live in Japan is the many aftershocks caused by such large earthquakes. Emily So, a civil engineer who lives in Japan stated that “We will be expecting aftershocks, maybe for days, months and years.” This means that more injuries and mortalities are likely to occur even months or years after large quakes they so often experience.
It is because Japan experiences Earthquakes and Tsunamis regularly, large mortalities and after shocks caused by earth quakes that Japan is indeed a very dangerous place to live.

"The Pacific plate has been inching its way under the North American plate... As these plates butt into each other, pressure build and build... The release of such tension causes earthquakes and the sudden lifting of the seabed triggers the tsunami." reports a geophysicist. From this quote, it is evident that Japan will experience these hazards and disasters more frequently. According to the picture source, it shows the wave height ranging from 0cm (green) to 240+cm (black). The image shows that more tsunamis tend to happen near the coastal to portions around the region. Also, it is stated that "Japan sits in the 'Ring of fire', an arc that stretches along the basin of the Pacific Ocean, and is home to 90% of the world's earthquakes". This fact proves furthermore that it is "prone to earthquakes". In addition, it is recorded to have an earthquake (in Japan) about 1400 times stronger than the Kobe earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.9, which had killed more than 5000 people and injured 26000 in 1995. "The shaking was so great that it was felt as far away as Tokyo, which is 230 miles from the quake's epicentre", said a seismologist at USGS. This is another reason why Japan would be affected by strong recurring earthquakes.
To conclude, it is evident from the text and image source, that Japan is a dangerous place to live, as it lies under tectonic plates, can trigger tsunamis and sits in the "ring of fire".]]> 2016-11-16 23:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278359 MRCBased on, and referring to the sources, why could it be dangerous living in Japan? nic12 https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278384 2016-11-16 23:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278384 Elmiko https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278389 It is dangerous living in Japan as the country experiences earthquakes and tsunamis. These natural disasters happen frequently as "Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates".
The most prominent reason as stated in source 1 is that "Japan is one of the most seismically active areas in the world". Due to the tectonic plates laying under the country that aren't constantly moving at a smooth rate, it puts the countries at risk of re-occurring earthquakes. The country also lies in the "the ring of fire" which Is home to 90% of the worlds earthquakes. With the large amount of people living there these earthquakes takes a massive death toll on humans. The Kobe earthquake killed over 5,000 people but was only classified a 6.9 magnitude earthquakes. This makes it evident that the earthquakes experienced are much more powerful taking an even larger amount of lives with it.
The second reason Japan is a dangerous country to live in is the resulting effects of the earthquakes, the tsunamis. As shown in the source, the height of these tsunamis rise to above 240cm. It stretches out around the country with the majority wave height ranging from 20 to 80 cm. This adds to the earthquake making the end result much more devastating.
The third reason is large amount of

As seen in figure 1 this can create tsunamis with waves ranging 0cm shown in green all the way to 2.4m shown in black. This can often damage cities along the coastal lines of japan causing millions of dollars worth of damage. As stated in the text the second reason japan is very dangerous is because, Japan sits inside "The Ring Of Fire".

Firstly Japan is located on the perimeter of four tectonic plates. This means that earthquakes and tsunami occur regularly. It is said in the text source that, "These massive slabs of earth’s crust are endlessly creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting again." This proves that Japan is a dangerous place to live. Further more, Japan is surrounded by the 'Ring of Fire' which is stated in the text, "to be home to 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and more than 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes." This means that Japan is not only prone to earthquakes, but volcanoes too. This would definitely make Japan a dangerous place to live.     It is clear that Japan is an extremely dangerous place to live because it is located on four tectonic plates and is located near 'The Ring of Fire'. ]]> 2016-11-16 23:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278443 Jarrod https://padlet.com/ayesh_ratnayake/japanese/wish/138278448 It is dangerous to live in Japan for two main reasons: Japan is near the edge of four tectonic plates (Earthquakes) and is surrounded by water (Tsunami's).
The first reason that makes Japan a dangerous place is that it is near the edge of four tectonic plates. According to the text source it is the near the edge of "The Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates." It is evident that that Japan being near these plates has great impact on how dangerous Japan is. According to the text source these plates move often and "very unpredictably" release the pressure that had been building up.
In addition to the Earthquakes, Japan regularly receives tsunami's as an outcome to earthquakes. The visual source depicts a tidal wave occurring after the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan.0cm high in green and 240cm high in black. It is evident that the tidal waves were large near the coast of Japan. This may occur because of Japan being surrounded by open ocean which results in the earthquakes causing tsunami's and large tidal waves.

The main reason why it is so dangerous living in Japan is that it is located on four tectonic plates, the text also states that: “Japan is one of the most seismically active areas in the world,”. It is evident that Japan receives a lot of earthquakes but even if an earthquake doesn't directly strike Japan, it can cause great damage from tsunamis, as stated in the text source: "The 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck coastal Japan on Friday, devastating large swaths of the coast and spawning a powerful tsunami". In addition to this, the visual source displays how powerful the tsunami, that was generated by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake, was.

Living in Japan could be dangerous for 2 main reasons - the country is located on the perimeter of four major tectonic plates, and the population of the country exceeds Therefore earthquakes and tsunamis are not rare occurrences.
It is evident from that text source that the four plates are "endlessly creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting again," meaning that Japan is one of the most "seismically active," countries on the planet. This means that Japan would not have time to properly recover after a major earthquake, as major earthquakes often result in aftershocks for a long period of time after the earthquake had occurred.
In addition to powerful earthquakes, Japan also experiences large tsunamis, resultant of the earthquakes. By studying the image source, it is evident that the tsunami's in Japan can range from 0cm high to 240cm high. This is displayed by the darkest shades of black representing the highest tsunami wave height and the lightest yellows representing the lowest tsunami wave height. This poses many additional threats to the Japanese population.

In addition to this, the country sits in the Ring of Fire, which according to the text source, is "home to 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and more than 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes".
Since the country lies on the boundary of four tectonic plates, earthquakes aren't rare. In fact, Japan is one of the "most seismically active areas in the world" as stated in the text source. Earthquakes happen when the pressure of the constant clash of the tectonic plates become too great and the pressure is suddenly released.
Along with the constant threat of earthquakes, Japan is also prone to tsunamis. The graphic source depicts a tsunami as the result of an earthquake below the sea. In the source, the scale varies from 0mm in height with a colouring of green to 200mm with a colouring of black. The epicentre of the wave is coloured mostly black and purple representing the intensity of the tsunami.

It would be dangerous to live in japan because "sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates: the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates" which cause unpredictable earthquakes. It is evident in the written source that 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck coastal Japan, and it killed over 5 000 people and injured 26 000. Due to the earthquakes, Japan also receives tsunamis. As evident in the figure, Japan (shaded in black) was struck by a "240+ Wave", meaning that Japan is in the strongest earthquakes zone.
     In addition to the tsunamis, "Japan is also home to 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and more than 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes."

According to the text source, these tectonic plates are at risk of colliding into each other causing pressure which is a key factor of creating earthquakes. This suggests the earthquake is frequently occurring in Japan.
In addition as stated in the text source. "The movement of tectonic plates also cause a sudden move of seabed resulting a tsunami." This suggest that the people living near the shore is constantly at risk of being killed by tsunami which makes Japan a dangerous place to live.
Referring to the figure, it depicts the wave height during a '8.9 magnitude earthquake' . Areas near the coastline which is coloured in black depicts that the height of the wave is around 200cm-240cm. The rise of waves over 2 metres suggest that coastal areas of Japan can be easily covered up by sea water. This another reason why Japan is a dangerous place to live.

As depicted in the text source, Japan "Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates: the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates...are endlessly creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting again. " This event causes Japan to be dangerous as the constant shaking and pressure building up results in both earthquakes and tsunamis. It is evident from the picture source that Japan experiences wave heights of more than 240 cm as shown by the black area surrounding Japan. This shows that living in Japan would be dangerous as other areas surrounding Japan only have wave lengths of 0-80 as indicated by the blue to red colour sections. As seen from the picture source, Japan is more prone to heavy damage than other countries.
As a result of Japan experiencing Earthquakes and Tsunamis on a frequent basis, there has been much damage to the environment. As illustrated by the text source, the 8.9-magnitude earthquake "was about 1,400 times stronger than the 6.9 magnitude Kobe earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people and injured 26,000 in 1995." This perhaps, indicates that more people were injured or had died and the earthquake was stronger. As a result of having a stronger earthquake, there is a possibility of an enormous tsunami being generated, resulting in even more deaths. As demonstrated by the picture source, most of the wave heights higher than 20 cm (red to black section) are heading in the direction of Japan. This shows that the wave lengths of Japan are increasing as earthquakes occur, thus causing areas surrounding Japan to be equally dangerous.
   It is evident that living in Japan is dangerous as Japan experiences increasing high magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis, resulting the injury and death of people.

Firstly, Japan is a small island surrounded by ocean, and according to the text source , it is evident that, 'Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates: the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates.' This causes major tsunamis and major earthquakes. According to the text, it is also evident that these tectonic plates are always moving around at clashing against each other often, and by that, the plates build up pressure and then releases it which then causes an earthquake. This depicts that it is common in Japan, to have an earthquake and tsunami.

In addition, the graphic source- which shows the wave height (in cm)- depicts that on the east coast of japan, the wave height goes up to 0cm which is shown by the colour of green, yet on the eastern side of Japan, the wave height is coloured in a shades of black, which goes to 200-240 cm. Otherwise, the rest of the ocean is mainly orange and red coloured, which depicts that the waves out in the open ocean are regularly 20-50cm high.
In conclusion, Japan is not a safe place to live in, due to the natural disasters effected by the tectonic plates that Japan sits on.

The potential death loss and economic loss makes Japan a dangerous country to inhabit. According to the text, Japan is lies on 4 different tectonic plates named, "the Pacific, North American, Eurasian and Filipino plates". Known as "one of the most seismically active areas in the world" Japan resides in the "Ring of Fire" an arc where seismic activity and volcanic activity is the highest in the world.

Furthermore, according to the map depicting the wave heights of sea, sea levels around the coastlines of Japan are highlighted black, suggesting that the wave heights are 240 cm and taller. This natural disaster occurs prior to the endless "creeping, slipping, locking up and then jolting" tectonics plates, as the pressure lifts the seabed, activating the tsunamis to terrorise Japan, killing hundred of people in the process.

In addition, Japan are also vulnerable to the aftershocks and foreshocks coming before and after the seismic quakes.
