World’s largest earthquake led to an enormous tsunami and an eruption of one of the largest volcanoes on Earth.
Seems normal.
That penninsula does have 300 valcanos, 29 of which are considered active. The valcano that erupted last erupted in 2023. So yeah, it does seem somewhat normal for the region.
The earthquake was 8th largest recorded btw. But seismographs have only really been recording earthquake intensity for around 150 years which is very little on geologic time.
