It occurred as a result of normal faulting in a seismically quiet region, possibly in response to the magnitude 9.0 Mw 2011 Tōhoku earthquake.http://www.asahi.com/science/update/0315/TKY201203150226.html ja:千葉県内１人死亡、１人負傷 １４日の千葉東方沖地震 ja 15 March 2012 29 March 2012 The Asahi Shimbun Effects Despite its considerable magnitude the earthquake caused only localised light to moderate structural damage in Chiba, owing in part to Japan's advanced earthquake engineering. The most significant effects occurred in Chōshi and Katori cities, where a few walls collapsed and several buildings sustained damage. In Funabashi city an elderly resident suffered a fatal heart attack during the quake, and a falling object caused one minor injury in Kisarazu city.https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/pager/events/us/b0008gvl/index.html PAGER – M 5.7 – Near the East Coast of Honshu, Japan United States Geological Survey 14 March 2012 29 March 2012http://www.fdma.go.jp/bn/data/%E5%8D%83%E8%91%89%E7%9C%8C%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B9%E6%B2%96%E3%82%92%E9%9C%87%E6%BA%90%E3%81%A8%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87%EF%BC%88%E7%A2%BA%E5%AE%9A%E5%A0%B1%EF%BC%89.pdf 千葉県東方沖を震源とする地震（確定報） ja 15 March 2012 29 March 2012 Fire and Disaster Management Agency https://web.archive.org/web/20120419203641/http://www.fdma.go.jp/bn/data/%E5%8D%83%E8%91%89%E7%9C%8C%E6%9D%B1%E6%96%B9%E6%B2%96%E3%82%92%E9%9C%87%E6%BA%90%E3%81%A8%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87%EF%BC%88%E7%A2%BA%E5%AE%9A%E5%A0%B1%EF%BC%89.pdf 19 April 2012 Background A seismically volatile country, Japan frequently experiences natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.http://cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/2/4/803.full Nephrology in Earthquakes: Sharing Experiences and Information 10.2215/CJN.00530107 17699497 July 2007 2 4 803–04 Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology American Society of Nephrology Fukagawa M free The entire archipelago forms a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a massive belt of volcanoes and trenches.http://www.geo.mtu.edu/EHaz/ConvergentPlatesClass/week%201/Taira_01.pdf Tectonic evolution of the Japanese island arc system Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences 2001 29 110–11 Asahiko Taira 1 Annual Reviews 10.1146/annurev.earth.29.1.109 2001AREPS..29..109T The largest of the islands, Honshu is characterised by numerous inland fault systems and large subduction zones which are a result of the interaction between several tectonic plates.2: The Geology and Tectonics of the Tohoku Region Development of Methodologies for the Identification of Volcanic and Tectonic Hazards to Potential HLW Repository Sites in Japan: The Tohoku Case Study NUMO-TR-08-03 Nuclear Waste Management Organization of Japan March 2009 At the junction of the continental Okhotsk microplate and the oceanic Philippine Sea and Pacific plates lies the populous Kantō Region, which has had a long history of devastating earthquakes.http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm03/ American Geophysical Union: Fall Meeting 2003 December 2003 S.
