In the above sequence you can clearly see the build up of earthquakes in the northern part of the [Ring of Fire] along the [Aeultian Islands] starting from the 7th of March 2011.
The [Ring of Fire] is an incomplete circle starting at the South with New Zealand, going up along the Philippines then to East coast of Japan, to its most Northern point the [Aeultian Islands] in the long arc joining Alaska. Finaly dropping down through California and ending at the Southern tip of Peru.

Less than four weeks before the tsunami hit Japan the Christ Church earth quakes in New Zealand claimed at least 182 lives, this was a precursor to what was yet to come.

After two days of increased quake activity concentrated in the North and Eastern parts of the [Ring of fire] Hundreds upon hundreds of quakes pound Japans Eastern coast compounding over and over again the disruption unitl on 11th of March at 5:46 a magnitude 8.9 quake occurs creating unparrelled devistation.

As well as watching the sequence of events from 7th to the 14th of March 2011, you can experience the last seven days earth quakes or just the last one.
