Recording the Earth’s Seismic Activity In general‚ the map that contained all the earthquake distributions mostly had shallow quakes spread around. Deep quakes on the map were a lot less common. I would estimate that about 85%-90% of the earthquakes were shallow quakes. There were only three earthquakes on the map that had a magnitude of 7.0 or greater. The earthquakes that appeared to have occurred along spreading zones made up about 80% of the earthquakes on the map. Earthquakes that have

hit by a magnitude 9.0 quake at about 2:50 pm. This would turn out to be the largest earthquake in the past thousands years to ever be recorded. What caused this massive destruction one might ask? This devastating quake was caused because Japan is located between two major tectonic plates. When a large number of plate movements occur‚ the Pacific Plate makes its way below a subduction zone. When plate movements are not gradual and continuous along the subductions zones‚ quakes then now occur. When
