Earthquakes in Indonesia: regions and hazards
Indonesia spans several major plate boundaries, including the Sunda subduction zone. Strong earthquakes can occur offshore and inland, and some undersea events generate tsunamis.
Reading the monitor
Magnitude measures earthquake size but is not equivalent to felt intensity. Depth, distance, geology and construction influence local shaking. Initial records can be revised, and small earthquakes may not appear immediately.
Monitoring and protection
EarthSentra does not predict earthquakes or replace civil protection alerts. Follow national seismological agency information and local emergency guidance. During shaking protect your head and neck; on an exposed coastline, strong or prolonged shaking calls for attention to tsunami evacuation guidance.
See the USGS catalog and EarthSentra’s global earthquake monitor.
