The wave, according to Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), hit the two provinces on Saturday at 9:27 pm.]]> 2022-10-21 05:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350194223 loisartha https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350196509 The 7.5 Richter magnitude Earthquake that hit Palu is the most devastating earthquake to hit the country since 2004. The earthquake occurred at 18:03 local time on Friday, 28 September 2018. It was caused by a horizontal movement of tectonic plates with an epicenter just off the central Island of Sulawesi, at a shallow depth of 10 km. Its close proximity to densely populated areas caused a large-scale destruction to the island. Buildings turned into rubble, over 2,000 people lost their lives, 70,000 more displaced and thousands still missing.]]> 2022-10-21 05:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350196509 loisartha https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350199438 The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, also known as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake and the 3rd of March Earthquake, was a magnitude 9.0 undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (Japan Standard Time) on Friday, 11 March 2011, with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku and the hypocentre at an underwater depth of approximately 32 km.

It was the world's fourth largest earthquake since 1900 and the largest in Japan since modern instrumental recordings began 130 years ago. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres in Miyako in Tohoku's Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, traveled up to 10 km inland. The earthquake moved Honshu 2.4 m east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm and 25 cm.]]> 2022-10-21 05:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350199438 loisartha https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350203659 The earthquake that generated the great Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 7:59 am local time on Sunday, 26 December 2004. It was caused by subduction with an epicentre off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake. The resulting tsunami is given various names, including the "Boxing Day tsunami".

With a magnitude of Mw 9.1-9.3, it is the third largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. The earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake is estimated to have released the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs.

It began on May 20th and lasted until August 27th. Around 70% of the island of Krakatoa and the surrounding islands were destroyed. The eruption itself is considered one of the most destructive volcanic events in recorded history. It was heard up to 1,900 miles away in Western Australia.

At least 36,000 deaths are attributed to the eruption and the tsunami that resulted. Terrifyingly, ships as far away as South Africa were impacted by the tsunami. Waves as high as 46 meters, or 150 feet, were recorded.]]> 2022-10-21 05:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/loisartha/vilv14vusu8ngo6b/wish/2350220959
