635: 418:, located between the airport and the harbor, were also damaged by the shaking. Gasoline from the tank was brought to the sea surface by the tsunami and underground water released by the liquefaction, and ignited five hours after the earthquake. The fire spread to nearby tanks and induced explosions that fed the fire, allowing it to continue for 12 days. The fire spread to nearby residential areas, leaving 1407 people displaced. This fire is said to be the worst industrial complex fire in the country's history. At the time the cause of the fire was said to be caused by the liquefaction, but later research into large earthquakes revealed that 53: 435: 538: 29: 621: 60: 524:, 4 m at Shiotani and near Iwafune Harbor, and between 1 and 2 m at Naoetsu. It was also reported that due to the run-up that occurs on sandy beaches, the wave reached 6 m in some places. The first wave was the highest in many places, but the third was reportedly higher in others. The ensuing waves came at intervals of 20 and 50 minutes. Flooding caused by the tsunami persisted in some areas for up to a month. 606:, one of the commuter bridges spanning the Shinano River in the city, survived the earthquake intact, but not unscathed. The streets that cross under the bridge on each side and run parallel to the river are approximately 1 meter different in elevation. The bridge itself only sank about 10 cm during the earthquake, but coupled with the aforementioned land subsidence it has sunk a total of 1.2 meters. 599:
natural gas and groundwater in the Niigata city area, large-scale land subsidence has lessened. However, in that period the ground was observed to settle an average of 20 cm per year. This land subsidence, the liquefaction in the inner city, and the tsunami all contributed to the massive inundation damage during the earthquake.

Due to urbanization and modernization in Niigata City and the surrounding area, water pumping quickly increased in 1950, in order to extract water-soluble natural gas in the groundwater. As a result, land subsidence became a serious problem. Since 1959, due to restrictions on the extractions of
