The 2011 Shizuoka earthquake (静岡県東部地震, Shizuoka-ken tо̄bu jishin) occurred approximately 42 km (26 mi) north-northeast of Shizuoka City at 22:31 JST, 15 March 2011.[1][2] The magnitude was Mw  6.0 or MJMA  6.4,[3][4][5] and the depth was 9 km (5.6 mi).[6] The hypocenter of this earthquake is thought to have been near the presumed location of the magma chamber of Mount Fuji. It may have been a triggered earthquake caused by the Tohoku earthquake, which occurred four days earlier, on 11 March 2011.[7][8] It was sinistral strike-slip fault earthquake.[9] It had a maximum JMA intensity of Shindo 6+ (Fujinomiya[10]) or VIII (Severe) on the Mercalli intensity scale.[11] The earthquake left 80 people injured, and caused some power outages.[12][13][14]
