Tepco, the power plant's operator, said via Twitter that "no abnormalities" were found at the nuclear reactors as of 5:59 a.m. local time.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initially listed Tuesday's earthquake as magnitude 7.3 before changing it to magnitude 6.9.

Japan is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because it sits on the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, an arc of seismic faults where about 90 percent of the world's earthquakes happen, according to USGS.

New Zealand, another island nation within the ring, suffered a damaging magnitude 7.8 earthquake earlier this month.

Earthquakes happen when two blocks of earth suddenly "slip" past one another on a fault plane.

The large-scale displacement of seafloor can trigger very long waves that coalesce into a tsunami. The waves travel outward on the ocean's surface, like ripples in a pond, and can slow down but grow in size as they come ashore.

In Japan on Tuesday, as news of the tsunami threat first rolled in, pet owners shared photos of their rattled cats and dogs, which were apparently spooked by the morning's earthquake.
