Earthquake map -- Focus on Japan

[Yooperman]

18. That is good to hear...

I am just amazed how active the movement is on that side of the Pacific...

If you watched the world map... you will see there is a tremendous difference in the number of quakes on the North American side... vs... the Asian side of the Pacific.

Although a "big" one could hit the West Coast at any moment... it looks as though the chance of one hitting Japan again is more likely...

I know the Japanese society is as prepared for the catastrophic quakes as any country, but as seen with this last one... you really can't prevent massive damage when it occurs.

I hope with all the smaller quakes it helps releasing the tension hopefully preventing another one like last years.
