The document summarizes a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on January 1, 2024. The earthquake was caused by Japan's location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped group of volcanoes encircling the Pacific Ocean. The earthquake resulted in over 100 deaths and 500 injuries. It also damaged infrastructure and left 23,000 homes without power. Experts believe earthquakes regularly occur in this region due to tectonic plate movement under the Pacific Ocean.
