📡 Earthquakes today in Indonesia – live USGS tracker

See earthquakes today in Indonesia with real‑time USGS data. Filter by magnitude, depth, and find earthquakes near me in Indonesia. Updated every 60 seconds.

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.

Why does Indonesia experience earthquakes?

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.
