Series of Earthquakes Rattles Indonesia

“The earthquake has been felt as far afield as Sumatra, Bali and Lombok, because it is a deep fault earthquake. In this case, it occurred at a depth of 578 kilometers.”

Indonesia is long known to be vulnerable to earthquakes, volcanic activity, and other natural disasters due to its geographical location in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
