Will a disaster like this happen again
An event similar to the Sendai Japanese earthquake is very likely to happen again, as Japan is situated in an area that has lots of seismic activity. Because of Japan's situation in this area it experiences many earthquakes on a regular basis. This area that Japan lies is called the ring of fire and is the cause of all the seismic activity. Even though Japan often experiences many earthquakes due to lying on the ring of fire none of these earthquakes have ever been of the power of the Sendai Earthquake. Even though we can guess that another earthquake like this will happen again earthquakes are unpredictable so we will never be able to perfectly predict when an earthquake will strike. If another earthquake strikes like this again hopefully the damage will be less due to more precautions being taken after learning difficult lessons after this earthquake.
