List of earthquakes in Indonesia

List of earthquakes in Indonesia

This is an incomplete list of more recent recorded major earthquakes that have occurred within the boundaries of Indonesia - as indicated by the geology of the region, and the volcanic activity - much large numbers of earthquakes of smaller magnitude occur very regularly due to the meeting of major tectonic plates in the region.

Locations given are either the island/region within Indonesia - or one of the seas that occur within the archipelago.

Note some recent earthquakes are known by their dates rather than specific locations - the Boxing Day 2004 earthquake is also known by the name Sumatra Andaman Island earthquake.
