Glance at the Indonesian island that has never felt the earthquake

Japan since ancient times known as the State of earthquakes because seismic intentitas often making the population in Japan has been trained to deal with emergencies when the earthquake came.Japan's population will not run away when an earthquake occurs,they will take refuge in places that are like under a sturdy table or objects that could protect from the rubble by the quake.

A few years back until now Indonesia is inseparable from the earthquake as well,ranging from the earthquake in Aceh,which ended the devastating tsunami,Jakarta,Tasikmalaya, Papua, Yogyakarta,Aceh,West Nusa Tenggara,Toli-Toli,Central Sulawesi and Padang, until most recently quake in Cilacap.All the islands in Indonesia has been almost flat never felt the enormity of the earthquake due to collision of the earth plate is then collapsed and shifted. The series of earthquakes is inseparable from the position of Indonesia in the Ring of Fire (plate tectonics) are active.

Of all the islands in Indonesia, there is a large island that has never felt the vibrations of the earthquake, the island is Borneo. Borneo island is only adjacent to the plate earthquakes in the Makassar Strait, and even then only part of the island of Borneo that are outside so that the potential for very small earthquakes in Kalimantan, which even today have never felt the earthquake. Hopefully the cracks of the earth plates are not spread so that Indonesia is not much shaken by earthquakes.Earthquake-prone area stretches along the Australian tectonic plate boundary with Asia, the Asian plate to the Pacific from east to west Sumatra to the south of Java, Nusa Tenggara, and Banda. Then the interaction of Indian-Australian plates, Eurasia and the Pacific meeting in Banda and the meeting of Asia-Pacific plate in Sulawesi and Halmahera, the occurrence of earthquakes is also related to an active fault. Among Sumatra fault, Palu fault, or faults in Papua. There are also smaller faults such as fault Cimandiri in Java, West Java.

Due to frequent earthquakes and, now Indonesia's population already accustomed to and do not panic when the earthquake, although sometimes issue a tsunami after the earthquake to make people panic.
