El terremoto M6.0 frente a Urakawa, Hokkaido, ocurrió en una de las regiones tectónicas más activas de Japón. Bajo el fondo oceánico, la placa del Pacífico se introduce hacia la fosa de Kuriles, acumulando enormes esfuerzos. Investigaciones submarinas han identificado terrazas, escarpes y deformaciones del fondo marino en esta zona, estructuras que reflejan la constante presión y movimiento de las placas.
