The 2012 Sanriku earthquake (三陸沖地震, Sanriku oki jishin) occurred near the city of Kamaishi, Japan, on December 7 at 17:18 JST.[9] The magnitude 7.3 shock generated a small tsunami, with waves up to 1 m high, that hit Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture.[10] It occurred at a depth of 36 km within the Pacific Plate and was the result of reverse faulting, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the Japan Trench.
