On 25 February 2022 at 08:39 WIB, a moment magnitude (M w ) 6.2 earthquake struck West Sumatra, Indonesia at a depth of 4.0 km (2.5 mi). [ 2] Preceded by one foreshock and followed by over 200 aftershocks, the mainshock had an epicenter at the foot of Mount Talakmau in ...
On 21 November 2022, at 13:21 WIB (UTC+07:00), a Mww 5.6 earthquake struck near Cianjur in West Java, Indonesia. The strike-slip earthquake occurred with a focal depth of 11 km (6.8 mi). Between 335 and 635 people died, [ a ] 7,729 were injured and five remain missing. [ 2 ]
Compared to the highly oblique convergence across the plate boundary in Sumatra, near Java, it is close to orthogonal. However, there is still a small component of left-lateral strike-slip that is accommodated within the over-riding Sunda Plate.
2,180 injured [3] The first of the 2009 Sumatra earthquakes (Indonesian: Gempa bumi Sumatra 2009) occurred on 30 September off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia with a moment magnitude of 7.6 at 17:16:10 local time. The epicenter was 45 kilometres (28 mi) west-northwest of Padang, West Sumatra, and 220 kilometres (140 mi) southwest of Pekanbaru ...
For the major 2004 earthquake and tsunami, see 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. This is an incomplete list of more recent recorded major earthquakes that have occurred within the boundaries of Indonesia. The determinants of the activity are indicated by the geology of the region, and the volcanic activity.
The September 2007 Sumatra earthquakes were a series of megathrust earthquakes that struck the Sunda Trench off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, with three of magnitude 7 or greater. A series of tsunami bulletins was issued for the area. The most powerful of the series had a magnitude of 8.4, which makes it in the top 20 of the largest ...
As the most active complex volcano in West Sumatra province, and in proximity to populated areas, Mount Marapi is a significant hazard. [5] Since 2011, the volcano has been at the level II (Waspada) of a four-tier alert system set up by the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia. [6] A significant eruption occurred in 1979, [7] killing 60 people. [8]
Variation of seismicity with depth across the Sunda Trench subduction zone, low-angle part is the Sunda megathrust – September 2007 Sumatra earthquake shown by star. The Sunda megathrust is a fault that extends approximately 5,500 km (3300 mi) from Myanmar (Burma) in the north, running along the southwestern side of Sumatra, to the south of Java and Bali before terminating near Australia.
