Japan is an archipelago of over 3,000 islands located in East Asia. It has a population of over 127 million people, most of whom live in urban areas on the main islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shizuoka. Some of Japan's largest cities are Tokyo, Osaka and Nagasaki. Japan has a long history of dealing with natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions of Mount Fuji due to its geographic location. It has implemented extensive coastal defenses and early warning systems to help protect against tsunamis.

A tsunami is a series of waves that are brought about by an earthquake in the sea or any other volcanic eruption. Tsunamis have happened since the creation of the world. Major Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes that happen after the collision of tectonic plates (Samuels). Some plates are too hard to be pushed when a collision occurs they release energy causing seismic waves. These sudden seismic waves lead to an earth shake. Tsunamis can be very dangerous to the dwellers of the seashore (Taylor). Tsunamis that have happened have been recorded to cause deaths and loss of property. For instance, the largest Tsunami to occur was in Sumatra in 2004 which had a magnitude of 9.1 and left over 230,000 people dead. The Tsunami that happened in 2011 in Japan was devastating and resulted in loss of many lives. Property of approximately 300billion dollars was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. People drowned and most of them died. Many pictures were taken to keep a memory of what happened. This Tsunami was very large and impacted a lot to the Japanese government.
Many publications have been made about the historic 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear accident that occurred in Japan. The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9. Authors and photographers have published many articles with photographs of the tragedy, commonly referred to as "3/11". The earthquake hit the Tohoku region of Japan (BBC news). It swept away the entire town, killed thousands of dwellers and triggered a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Many damages were mostly along the coastline. The photo shows a wave that resulted from the tsunami earthquake as it approached Miyako City from the Heigawi estuary in Iwate Prefecture. The picture was taken on March 11, 2011, published in the Mainichi Shimbun. The photo shows the wave sweeping everything on the coastline including vehicles and houses. In the ocean, ships are seen as they are carried away, and others stack in the water. Some part of the city is submerged by the waters. The wave looks very strong and fast approaching, carrying and destroying everything on its way. This part was one of the most affected parts by the tragedy. Much of the town city was destroyed. The photo is just representation of how the deadly waves approached the cities in Japan destroying people and properties.
The earthquake in Tohoku 2011, struck the offshore of Japan beside a subduction zone where two tectonic plates were colliding. A subduction zone is where one plate slides below the other into the mantle which is the hotter layer below the crust. A recent study found out that, the Pacific plate which is in the east of Japan slides beneath the Eurasian plate (Samuels). On 11th March, 2011 an earthquake started at around 2.46pm on Friday local time. The earthquake was centered on the seafloor 72 kilometers in the East of Tohoku. It was felt in a depth of 24 kil ...

2. Japan This 3,000-island archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, lies east of China and Korea, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to Taiwan in the south.
3. Population density In 2004, Japan had a total population of 127.69 million, ranking it the ninth largest in the world. Most Japanese live in urban areas. The Kantô and Nôbi plains are home to Japan's largest cities and over half of the nation's people. Tokyo is at the heart of the Kantô Plain.
6. Satellite image of Kansai International Airport in Osaka Bay in Japan. This is an overview image showing the airport on its artificial island in the bay.
7. Landfill The waste disposal area is excavated and the inside is exposed. Main waste material is an incinerated ash or a grinded plastic dust. Cover soil is laid down for dust splash prevention. Over 3.5 million tons of garbage is produced by Tokyo residents every year!
8. The Yushi Incident In 1966, a PCB poisoning event in Kyushu, Japan involved accidental contamination of rice oil with 2000 ppm of PCBs. This resulted in the illness of more than 1000 villagers. Two out of 12 children were stillborn and nearly all of the babies showed signs of PCB diseases.
9. The estimated magnitude of the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake was between 7.9 and 8.4 on the Richter scale
11. Tsunami Japan has implemented an extensive program of building tsunami walls of up to 4.5 m (13.5 ft) high in front of populated coastal areas. Early warning systems enable low-lying populated areas to evacuate.
16. Fat Man Mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki rising 60,000 feet into the air The plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki on the morning of August 9, 1945 , had a blast yield equivalent to 21 kilotons of TNT generating an estimated at 7000 degrees Fahrenheit and 624 mph winds. The total number of residents killed may have been as many as 80,000, including those who died from radiation poisoning in the following months.
17. The Imperial family Japan is a constitutional monarchy where the power of the Emperor is very limited. As a ceremonial figurehead, he is defined by the constitution as "the symbol of the state and of the unity of the people". ( 天皇 tennō, literally "heavenly sovereign")
18. The floating Torrii Gate in front of Miyajima Island
20. Day of Infamy The Imperial Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the American Pacific Fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor, at Oahu, Hawaii. The resulting furor stirred America to declare war immediately on both Japan and Germany, the Axis Powers of World War II.

Editor's Notes
It is composed of over 3,000 islands, the largest of which are Hokkaidō, Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū.
The U.S. public saw the attack as a treacherous act and rallied against the Empire of Japan, causing the United States to enter World War II.
