"Nuclear facilities in Japan... were built to withstand earthquakes — but not an 8.9 earthquake," said James Walsh, a CNN contributor and research associate at MIT's security studies program.
But smaller earthquakes can be deadly if they strike close to cities, like the magnitude 6.7 quake that hit Northridge, California, 20 years ago. It killed more than 50 people.

But earthquakes, undersea landslides and explosions can generate tsunamis in all of the world's oceans, inland seas and large bodies of water.
Japan often suffers from earthquakes.
We're quite susceptible to earthquakes. We've just had wildfires.
It is found that the distribution of small earthquakes modulated by the solid tide is of obvious features with time and space before the occurrence of moderately strong earthquakes.
