The Jakarta Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) plans to conduct a simulation of the Sunda Strait megathrust earthquake this month.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Provincial Government has started preparing its residents to face the potential megathrust earthquake in the Sunda Strait segment through a series of disaster ...

To help prepare for the next megathrust earthquake, researchers used a supercomputer-powered "virtual earthquake" program to calculate for the first time realistic three-dimensional simulations ...

BMKG Earthquake and Tsunami Center head Daryono raised concerns about the potential for massive earthquakes along the Sunda Strait and Mentawai-Siberut megathrust zones, following the powerful ...

Megathrust earthquakes, massive scale simulations Earthquakes happen as rock below Earth's surface breaks suddenly, often as a result of the slow movement of tectonic plates.

Megathrust earthquakes are large earthquakes that occur on faults found along the boundaries between tectonic plates. The Nankai Trough is a megathrust earthquake zone lying off the southwestern ...
