The 2011 TÅhoku earthquake increased stress on the normal fault along Honshu's eastern coast on which the 2016 earthquake occurred. The 2011 and 2016 earthquake did not occur on the same fault with the later of the two taking place on a different fault of shallower depth. [9] The mainshock of 2011 was followed by a series of aftershocks off ...

The quake's epicenter was near the city of Kumamoto and measured at a depth of 40 km (25 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
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, the Liedu scale used in China or the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS), meaning that the scale measures the intensity of an earthquake at a given location instead of measuring the energy an earthquake ...
The strongest and most destructive earthquake in state history was the 1931 Valentine earthquake, [3]: 20 which had an estimated magnitude of m b 5.6–6.4. [ 4 ] : 1171 The second strongest earthquake in Texas history also occurred in West Texas, registering as a magnitude 5.7 tremor near Alpine in 1995.
