Indonesia is part of the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire that receives regular seismic activity. Pacific Ring of Fire where tectonic plates collide caused frequent volcanic activity.
Pacific Ring of Fire
Pacific Ring of Fire is the area in the basin of Pacific Ocean, where a large number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. This ring is the house of 75 percent of world's active and dormant volcanoes. The Ring of Fire has been created as a result of plate tectonics and the movement and collisions of lithospheric plates.
