震災 / しんさい / shinsai (shin like part of your leg, sai to sound like 'sigh'.) This is only used for large earthquakes. They're not very common! The second kanji, 災, means disaster. The first seems to mean 'quake' because it's also used in 'seaquake' 海震 / kaishin.
Or you can use Dan's, 地震 / じしん / jishin, of which the first kanji means earth, and the second is - again - quake. This applies only to SMALL earthquakes though!! We get those frequently here in Japan!!
大震災 /daishinsai = great (in size) earthquake. Like the ones that kill hundreds of people.

If the US really had a weapon of this power why would they use it on Japan? I mean what logical purpose would it serve to attack an ally with it. Would it not make more sense to sabotage Chinese or Iranian reactors.

地震
Good luck getting anyone to pronounce it.
Japanese writing, Canji, is more like Egyptian Hieroglyphics. They don't have letters like we do, they have concepts. I don't know what these two concepts mean; probably earth and quake.
