Satellite photos of earthquakes in Japan in 2024 and 2011 show the destruction each left in its aftermath

• A powerful earthquake that struck Japan this week killed dozens and destroyed roads and buildings.
• The 7.6-magnitude quake was powerful, but nothing compared to the magnitude 9.0 that struck in 2011.
• Satellite images show the destruction of both the 2011 and 2024 disasters.

Over 20 powerful earthquakes hit Japan's Noto Peninsula on January 1, including one with a magnitude of 7.6, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
