It has had at least 10 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 2 hours and 36 minutes after a magnitude 5.1 earthquake had hit on Monday, Nov 10, 2025, at 07:04 am (GMT +9 local time) in 9.8 km (6.1 mi) distance to the southeast:Mag. 5.1 earthquake North Pacific Ocean - Iwate, Japan - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.3.
