Answer:
A magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck in Pacific ocean off the northeast coast of the Tōhoku region of Japan's Honshu island on March 11,2011.
The great east Japan Earthquake - the name given to the event by the Japanese government — triggered a massive tsunami that flooded more then 200 square miles of coastal land.
The Tohoku earthquake caused a tsunami. A tsunami— Japanese for "harbor wave" – is a series of powerful waves caused by the displacement of a large body water. Most tsunamis, like the one that formed off Tohoku, are triggered by underwater tectonic activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
