The 2011 Off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake occurred at 14:46 on March 11, 2011. The earthquake’s epicenter was off the Pacific Coast of the Tohoku region in Japan. The intensity of this earthquake was huge, and the gigantic tsunami that it generated affected not only Tohoku Coast but also most of Japan’s Pacific coast.
