	The Earthquake and Tsunami of 26 May 1983 in the Sea of Japan - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
		Almost all of the destruction and deaths near the northern coast of Akita and elsewhere in Japan and Korea were caused by the tsunami.
		The seismicity of Northern Japan is the result of a double seismic zone (DSZ), and compressional deep trench and outer rise events and by the magmatic effects of plumes or superplumes which, originally, may have hydrated the subducting oceanic lithosphere.
		The northern half of Honshu (north of Tokyo), which is Japan's main island, represents a typical mature island arc, with the Pacific plate subducting below the North American plate, while the southern half of the island represents also a typical mature island arc, as the Philippine Sea plate subducts below the Eurasian plate.
