Based on the article Kompas.comOn March 11, 2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the Tohoku region, Japan, and triggered a tsunami.

The epicenter was located 130 kilometers (km) east of the city of Sendai, Miyagi prefecture, at a depth of 30 km under the Pacific Ocean.

This was the largest earthquake in Japanese history and the fourth largest in world history.

Seawater waves penetrate the land for 10 km and cause the Natori River to overflow.

The tsunami waves that hit the coast damaged Iwate prefecture, just north of Miyagi prefecture, as well as Fukushima, Ibaraki and Chiba prefectures, along the Pacific coast south of Miyagi.
