More About Japan's Hazard

These are some figures from the Japan Meteorological Agency showing more about the earthquake hazard for southern Japan. This figure shows the sources of earthquakes back to 1605.

This is also a very good brochure to look at for a summary of information that the Japan Meteorological Agency provides to the general public.
