At this latitude, the Okhotsk Plate is converging to the west-northwest towards the Amur Plate with a velocity of about 9 mm/yr and a maximum convergence rate of 24 mm/yr.Kashiwazaki, Japan Earthquake of July 16, 2007 2007 ASCE, Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering 9780784410622 http://www.asce.org/Product.aspx?id=2147487208&productid=16377 Alex K.

The Pacific plate converges west-northwest towards the Eurasia plate at over 90 mm/yr. Most of the relative motion between the Pacific and Eurasia plates is accommodated approximately 400 km mi on to the east-southeast of the epicenter of the earthquake, where the Pacific plate subducts beneath the Okhotsk Plate.Chūetsu offshore 2007 usp000fg9t M 6.6 – near the west coast of Honshu, Japan July 14, 2020 cs1 This shallow crustal earthquake was followed 13 hours later by a deep focus magnitude 6.8 quake roughly 330 km mi on to the west, 350 km mi on below the Sea of Japan. The two earthquakes were generated by different mechanisms. The first earthquake was caused by deformation within the crust of the Okhotsk Plate and the second quake was likely caused by faulting resulting from internal deformation of the subducted Pacific plate. Given their different mechanisms and physical separation of at least 10 rupture lengths, the second earthquake is not considered an aftershock of the first. Shallow earthquakes cause more damage than intermediate- and deep-focus ones since the energy generated by the shallow events is released closer to the surface and therefore produces stronger shaking than is produced by quakes that are deeper within the Earth.Aftershock strikes Niigata Pref. http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20070716p2a00m0na015000c.html Mainichi Daily News July 16, 2007 July 16, 2007September 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes The peak ground acceleration generated was 993 gal (1.01 g).http://www.japanfocus.org/-Ishibashi-Katsuhiko/2495 Why Worry?

Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant incidents Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant#2007 Chūetsu offshore earthquake The earthquake caused a leak of radioactive gases from Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant. A small amount of water from the spent fuel pool leaked out but plant operators said the leak was insignificant and did not present any environmental danger. The earthquake also caused a fire in an electrical transformer at the plant that was extinguished after two hours. The government requested that the plant remain closed pending safety inspections. The International Atomic Energy Agency offered to send a team of experts to inspect the plant.IAEA Offers to Send Expert Team to Japan Following Earthquake The Japanese government initially declined the offer but later accepted it after Niigata Prefecture legislature asked for confidence building efforts to counter public concern about the reactor.Japan accepts IAEA inspectors after quake troubles Reuters https://web.archive.org/web/20221127182626/https://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUST20337520070722 2022-11-27 live https://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUST20337520070722 Following the incident, Kiyoo Mogi, chair of Japan's Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction, called for the immediate closure of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, which was built close to the centre of the expected Tōkai earthquake.Quake shuts world's largest nuclear plant Nature, vol 448, 392–393, 10.1038/448392a, published July 25, 2007.
