List of earthquakes in Indonesia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Indonesian earthquake" redirects here. 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—as indicated by the geology of the region, and the volcanic activity—much large numbers of earthquakes of smaller magnitude occur very regularly due to the meeting of major tectonic plates in the region. Based on the records of the USGS, Indonesia has had more than 150 earthquakes with magnitude > 7 in the period 1901–2017.

Map of earthquakes in Indonesia 1900-2019
