Indonesia lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire and records thousands of earthquakes every year. The 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake (M9.1–9.3) was one of the largest ever recorded and caused a devastating tsunami. Major faults include Sunda Megathrust, Banda Arc, Palu-Koro Fault. Notable quakes include 2026 North Maluku (M7.4), 2021 Flores (M7.3), 2018 Sulawesi (M7.5), 2004 Sumatra (M9.1). The seismic risk is extreme. Tectonically, Indonesia lies on indo-australian plate subducting beneath eurasian plate. This page provides real‑time USGS data and historical context for Indonesia.

The region is defined by Sunda Megathrust, Banda Arc, Palu-Koro Fault, and the risk level is classified as Extreme. With a population of 275 million, understanding local seismic hazards is crucial.
Indonesia lies on Indo-Australian Plate subducting beneath Eurasian Plate. The movement of these plates builds up stress, which is released as earthquakes. In subduction zones, one plate dives beneath another, generating some of the largest quakes on Earth. In some regions, strike‑slip faults produce frequent moderate earthquakes.

The strongest recorded earthquake in Indonesia was the 2026 North Maluku earthquake (M7.4). 2026 North Maluku (M7.4)
Indonesia experiences approximately 1,500-5,000 earthquakes per year, with 100-500 felt (M3.0+) and 10-20 potentially damaging events (M5.0+) annually, according to USGS historical data.
The most recent major earthquake in Indonesia was the 2026 North Maluku earthquake (M7.4). 2026 North Maluku (M7.4)
Yes. Indonesia is crossed by Sunda Megathrust, Banda Arc, Palu-Koro Fault, making it prone to seismic activity. The seismic risk level is classified as Extreme.
Drop, cover, and hold on. Stay away from windows, and if outdoors, move to an open area. After the shaking stops, check for injuries and be ready for aftershocks. Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, first aid, and a flashlight.
