The secondary effects of the Japan earthquake were fires, gas line explosions, and a resulting major tsunami, which in turn was responsible for damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Destruction to Plumbing and sewer system could led to disease due to build up of waste.
Additional secondary effects were collapsed bridges and other structures due to destabilization caused by the strong shaking.
loads of destruction
No. The March 2011 earthquake in japan was along a convergent boundary, and triggered by subduction.
Great East Japan Earthquake / 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami
It is called the Sendai Earthquake of 2011 because the epicenter was nearest the city of Sendai, Japan.
The earthquake in Japan lasted about 3-5 minutes.
Long term effects of the earthquake and tsunami damage in Japan includes the massive cleanup and rebuilding of the country's infrastructure. Secondary effects include the radiation release from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and resulting widespread health and environmental effects. Other long term effects of the earthquake include changes to the planet itself. NASA scientists reported that the displacement of land masses in Japan may have caused a shift in the axis of the Earth - by about 6.5 inches. Also, the USGS reported that the quake moved portions of northeastern Japan by as much as 2.4 m (7.9 ft) closer to North America and made portions of Japan's landmass wider than before.

It depends on the earthquake you are talking about. Many have occurred in Japan. The most recent is the 2011 earthquake.

There was little to no warning about the coming of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 2011.
No. The earthquake that caused the Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004 was a bigger earthquake than the one that hit Japan.
