    For Japan, tsunamis are very common. Japan happens to be on several faults for earthquakes to occur and thus tsunamis can occur. One very scary hazard that was caused was the nuclear power that was one of six, located on Japan's east side called Fukushima Daiichi. Because the government was so nervous about the nuclear disaster, they decided to shut down the power plant.
