JAPAN  - Just this New Year 2012 Japan was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake Sunday—The strong quake struck under the sea just south of Japan. According to the USGS, the quake, that was later lowered to a 6.8 magnitude, struck at around 12:30 a.m. near the Izu Islands, south of Japan. The quake had a depth of around 217 miles below the sea and, struck the region 307 miles from Tokyo.
