Earthquakes struck 295 East Nusa Tenggara in April

Kupang Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) revealed 295 tectonic earthquakes that rocked East Nusa Tenggara Province in April this year, with the Sumba Island recording the most frequent earthquakes.

“Earthquakes have repeatedly struck the southwestern part of Sumba island,” said Robert Wahyu, head of the agency, in Kupang, capital of eastern Nusa Tenggara province, on Saturday.

A magnitude of 215 of the 295 earthquakes was three degrees or less on the Richter scale, while an earthquake of five or more was recorded on a single scale only once. He said that the region witnessed fewer earthquakes in March of this year, when the number was 206.

Wahoo noted that in March 2020 there were no large earthquakes.

Indonesia is located on the Circum-Pacific Belt, also known as the Ring of Fire, where many tectonic plates meet and cause frequent volcanic and seismic activity, and Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

In 2018, Indonesia suffered 11,577 earthquakes, which resulted in heavy losses, according to BMKG. The number of earthquakes was also much higher than that recorded in 2017.

BMKG data indicates that while 11,577 earthquakes of various depths and depths struck the country in 2018, 7,172 earthquakes were recorded in 2017.

This indicates a significant increase in the number of tectonic earthquakes in 2018.

Several earthquake-related events in Indonesia in 2018 were recorded for the first time, such as the liquefaction in Palu, a tsunami struck before a warning was issued in Palu, and the Sunda Strait.

Strong earthquakes and tsunamis killed many people in the affected areas and paralyzed the local economy.
