Questions
How many earthquakes happen in Indonesia?
In the last 30 days, 110 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater were recorded in Indonesia, 15 of them in the last 7 days. In the last 24 hours, 2 earthquakes of any magnitude were recorded. Most small earthquakes are not felt.
What was the largest recent earthquake in Indonesia?
The largest in the last 30 days was a magnitude 6.5 earthquake 127 km NNE of Teluknaga, West Java, Indonesia on 11 Sep 2026, at a depth of 372 km.
What is the largest earthquake recorded in Indonesia since 1900?
According to the USGS catalogue, the largest was a magnitude 9.1 earthquake on 26 Dec 2004 (2004 Sumatra - Andaman Islands Earthquake). Magnitudes of early 20th-century earthquakes are less certain than modern ones.
How deep are earthquakes in Indonesia?
69% of the magnitude 2.5+ earthquakes recorded in Indonesia in the last 30 days were shallower than 70 km. Shallow earthquakes generally cause stronger shaking at the surface than deep ones of the same magnitude.
Where can I get official earthquake information for Indonesia?
For official information, warnings and safety advice, follow BMKG (https://www.bmkg.go.id/) and your local civil protection authority. This site compiles agency reports and is not a warning service.
Can earthquakes be predicted?
No. Scientists can estimate how likely strong shaking is in a region over years or decades, but no method predicts the time, place and size of a specific earthquake. Aftershocks are expected after large earthquakes and become less frequent over time.
