Japan's Seismic Reality: Unraveling the Pacific Ring of Fire| Special Report| Oneindia

Japan, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, faces heightened seismic threats.

This horseshoe-shaped zone, marked by the Pacific Ocean's rim, is a hotspot for earthquakes and volcanoes.

Tectonic plate complexities, including the Philippine Sea Plate's subduction beneath the Eurasia Plate, fuel Japan's seismic activity.

The recent magnitude-7.0 earthquake in Kumamoto, though historically significant, reflects Japan's ongoing vulnerability.

While this event lacked tsunami risks, aftershock concerns persist, underscoring the nation's perpetual seismic vigilance.
