日本被称为地震学的摇篮。它位于全球四大板块连接处,处在最不稳定的地质构造环境之一。在日本,与地震有关的文字记载可追溯到公元599年,当时为推古女皇在位期间。20世纪初,日本地震学家提出了一系列理论,为世界地球物理学做出了显著贡献,其中一些理论在几十年后被板块构造学说所证实。1899年,明治三陆大海啸发生三年后,今村明恒提出导致这次海水波动的断层移动类 Japan is called the cradle of seismology. It is located in the world’s four major plate joints, in one of the most unstable geological tectonics. In Japan, earthquake-related writings date back to 599 AD, during which time the empress was promoted. At the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese seismologists put forward a series of theories and made significant contributions to world geophysics. Some of these theories were confirmed by tectonic tectonics decades later. In 1899, three years after the Meiji Grand Central Plains tsunami, Imam Murakami proposed a series of faults that led to this sea-water fluctuation
