As indonesia is situated in the “ Ring of Fire”, it is more prone to earthquakes. According to United States geological survey (USGS, earthquake hazards program), til now indonesia has witnessed five great earthquakes with the magnitude ranging from 8.5 to 9.1. these earthquakes caused major destruction in the paces they occurred. One of he major earthquakes that hit indonesian was “2004 indian ocean tsunami”. It was the deadliest natural disaster in the area. Its magnitude was 9.1-9.3. heavy loss of human lives was witnessed and damage was felt as far as east coast of africa (http:www.USGS.Org).

Earthquakes have been a source of terror to people since ancient times, but only for the last few hundred years serious attempts have been made to understand them. Many methods have been deveoped to predict earthquakes despite all the research efforts by seismologists. The prediction cannot be made to a specific day or month. In future perhaps scientists will be able to predict earthquakes exactly but for now sciene has yet to provide answers.

Seperti indonesia terletak di "lingkaran api", itu lebih rentan terhadap gempa bumi. Menurut Survei Geologi Amerika (USGS, bahaya gempa program), sekarang til indonesia telah menyaksikan lima gempa besar dengan magnitudo berkisar 8.5 9.1. gempa ini menyebabkan kehancuran besar di langkah mereka terjadi. Salah satu ia gempa-bumi besar yang melanda Indonesia adalah "tsunami Samudra Hindia 2004". Itu adalah bencana alam yang paling mematikan di daerah. Besarannya adalah 9.1-9.3. disaksikan berat hilangnya kehidupan manusia dan kerusakan dirasakan sejauh Pantai Timur Afrika (http:www.USGS.Org).Gempa bumi telah menjadi sumber teror kepada orang-orang sejak zaman kuno, tapi hanya untuk beberapa terakhir seratus tahun serius upaya telah dilakukan untuk memahami mereka. Banyak metode telah deveoped untuk memprediksi gempa bumi meskipun semua upaya penelitian oleh seismolog. Prediksi tidak dapat dibuat untuk hari tertentu atau bulan. Di masa depan mungkin ilmuwan akan mampu memperkirakan gempa bumi persis tetapi sekarang sciene belum memberikan jawaban.
