I think the reason why Japan gets hit so hard is because the type of ground the cities are sitting on, siesmic waves travel much more fluidly through softer ground than solid

@BreezyBrisbane Wow, you just don't know this is an earthquake that killed over 6000 people. I would like to see you get hit in a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and then you will see how it feels.

@Chammy92243 Japan gets hit so hard because three "boundaries" around the area. when the they move in a conservative way, earthquakes occur.

@Chammy92243 More fluidly? Please explain? Usually waves travel faster and easier in hard materials.
