The earthquake and flood happened together in Japan due to the earthquake triggering a tsunami which caused flooding in the coastal areas. Earthquakes can displace large amounts of water quickly, creating powerful waves that can inundate low-lying areas along the coast. This combination of natural disasters is not uncommon in regions prone to seismic activity and tsunamis.
