Detailed explanation-1: -More than 15, 500 people died. The tsunami also severely crippled the infrastructure of the country. In addition to the thousands of destroyed homes, businesses, roads, and railways, the tsunami caused the meltdown of three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 2011 Tōhoku-oki earthquake was caused by sudden movement in the subduction zone associated with the deep-sea Japan Trench. A subduction zone is a boundary between tectonic plates, specifically where oceanic and continental plates collide.
Detailed explanation-3: -The direct economic loss from the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster is estimated at $360 billion. Though Japan is a world leader in disaster preparedness, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake caused overwhelming damage and humanitarian needs that required an international response.
