Epicenter and effects

According to the Japanese news agency "Kyodo", the Japan Meteorological Agency reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was located near Torishima Island in the Izu Islands chain, at a depth of 10 kilometers below the sea surface, and this event raised concerns about possible effects on nearby coastal areas.

The Japan Meteorological Agency expects tsunami waves of at least one meter in height, and urged residents to stay away from coastal areas to avoid any potential danger.

Japan and seismic activity

It is worth noting that Japan is located at the intersection of four tectonic plates, which makes it highly susceptible to seismic activity, and it is also home to 100 active volcanoes.
