Look up quakes! |
Indonesia has a very high level of seismic activity. Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 8,800 quakes on average per year in Indonesia. Indonesia has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 9 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.
On average, Indonesia has about 6,500 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year (Mag 4+: 2,400 quakes per year, Mag 5+: 220 quakes per year, Mag 6+: 17.8 quakes per year).
