I learned today that Tokyo is located where 3 tectonic plates meet: the Phillipine, Eurasian, and Pacific Plates. Every 70 years Tokyo seems to have a major earthquake.


Years of earthquakes:
1633, 1703, 1882, 1853, 1925, ____?


11 of the 12 biggest banks in the world are based out of Tokyo. Tokyo is now 6 times as large as it was during the 1925 earthquake which caused many deaths and destruciton. Scary...
