Magnitude 4.7 Earthquake Strikes Northern Japan
(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
QNA
Tokyo: An earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale struck Monday northern Tatsugo, Japan.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located 106 km north of Tatsugu at a depth of 10 km, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
No reports have been received yet of any human losses or material damage due to the earthquake.
Japan is located at the junction of four tectonic plates, making it particularly vulnerable to seismic activity.
It is also home to 100 active volcanoes.
In 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed more than 15,000 people and caused a disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant. (QNA)
