I'm not sure if this video has already been posted. It's been circulating the net: the Japan Earthquake Visualization Map 2011, based on data of the Japan Meteorological Agency. It shows all earthquakes M>3.0 during 2011 (a staggering 19349 [!!]), their location, magnitude, epicentres, depth, daily counts, quite impressive!

wow that's a pretty impressive video indeed! All those circles after the 11th of March...

691 earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or higher in 2011...

Wow!
Luckily, at that time I lived in a part of Japan that was completely unaffected!
