Why do earthquakes occur in Japan?
Let us tell you that the Pacific Plate in Japan, the Philippines and the American Plate are slipping day by day. This is the reason why small, medium or major earthquakes occur here every year. Sometimes their intensity is very high. Due to which there is immense loss of public money.
Measures to avoid earthquake in Japan
The people of Japan have also gradually become accustomed to this natural disaster. This is the reason why people there give preference to kutcha houses or wooden houses instead of pucca houses. So that if they are hit by an earthquake, they do not have to suffer much loss.
