Earthquake Off the Coast of Japan-Maddie Ash

 A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan early Tuesday morning (Japan local time). At about 5.6 miles below sea level, the quake was 342 miles north-northeast of Tokyo and 60 miles east-northeast of Miyako, one of the areas devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. No tsunami warnings or advisories were issued by The Japan Meteorological Agency or the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Shortly after the first earthquake, a second tremor started 23.6 miles below sea lever in almost the same place. This second quake registered a 5.1 on the Richter scale.
