Japan Earthquake: First-Ever Nankai Trough Alert Issued After 7.1 Quake Hits Kyushu-What it Means?
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued its first-ever alert for a potential large earthquake around the Nankai Trough following a 7.1 magnitude quake off Kyushuโs coast.
This alert suggests an increased likelihood of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough, a historically active fault that triggered the 1946 Nankaidล earthquake.
Japan, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," faces heightened concerns about infrastructure and nuclear plant safety due to these recent seismic events.
