   Why does Japan have so many deadly quakes?

   • Deadly quakes are a tragic part of the nation's past. Japan has such a large potential for earthquakes and disaster because the nation sits atop four huge slabs of the Earth's crust, called tectonic plates. These plates mash and grind together and trigger deadly earthquakes, like the 9.0-magnitude quake that struck on March 11.
