Mechanism of earthquakes
Earthquakes occur because of the movements of the earth's tectonic plates.
Earthquakes are frequent in Japan because the Japanese islands are above two overlapping plates.
The plates moves a few centimeters a year and push against each other, which warps the crust and eventually causes earthquakes.
In July, 1993, there was a big earthquake off the southeast coast of Hokkaido, along the boundary of the plates.
Magnitude and earthquake
Magnitude expresses the scale of earthquakes, and seismic intensity expresses the strength of shaking.
The intensity differs according to the distances from the epicenter of the earthquake.
Generally, even if the magnitude is large, intensity decreases significantly as it moves away from the epicenter.
