A seismogram recorded in Massachusetts, United States. The magnitude 9.1 (M w) undersea megathrust earthquake occurred on 11 March 2011 at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) in the north-western Pacific Ocean at a relatively shallow depth of 32 km (20 mi), [9] [56] with its epicenter approximately 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku, Japan, lasting approximately six minutes.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Seismic Intensity Scale [1] (known in Japan as the Shindo seismic scale) [2] is a seismic intensity scale used in Japan to categorize the intensity of local ground shaking caused by earthquakes.

The magnitude 7.1 quake occurred off the country’s northeastern coast late Saturday, local time.
This earthquake resulted in at least 1 death and left at least 185 injured. [14] Serious damage was caused. There was no tsunami. It is believed that this was an aftershock of the earthquake almost 10 years to the exact date of the 2011 mainshock. [15] 2021-03-20 18:09:45 M w 7.0 M JMA 6.9

In Japan, the Shindo scale is commonly used to measure earthquakes by seismic intensity instead of magnitude. This is similar to the Modified Mercalli intensity scale used in the United States or the Liedu scale used in China, meaning that the scale measures the intensity of an earthquake at a given location instead of measuring the energy an earthquake releases at its epicenter (its magnitude ...
