This document provides information about earthquakes, including their causes, types, and historical earthquakes in Indonesia. It discusses tectonic earthquakes caused by shifting tectonic plates and volcanic earthquakes caused by magma activity. The document also outlines tips for staying safe during an earthquake, such as taking shelter, avoiding hazards, and listening to official information. Historical quakes that caused significant damage in Indonesia are also mentioned.

1. PREFACE
Thank God , because of His grace I
can finish the task that called the
Earthquakes . This task is proposed
in order to fulfill the task of English
subjects.
I would like to thank all those who
helped to make this task can be
completed on time. This task is still
far from perfect, therefore, criticism
and constructive suggestions so I
hope to perfect this assignment.
Hopefully this task provides
information for friends and useful
insights for the development and
enhancement of knowledge for us all.

2. PRELIMINARY
Earthquakes are natural
disasters that frequently
occur in the hemisphere.
Earthquakes occur due to a
shift in the Earth's plates or
volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes occur when the
pressure that occurs
because the movement was
too large to be arrested.

3. TECTONIC
EARTHQUAKE
Tectonic earthquake :
An earthquake is caused by tectonic
activity, the tectonic plates shift
suddenly has the power of the very small
to very large. This earthquake generated
a lot of damage or natural disasters on
earth, a strong earthquake vibrations can
spread into other parts of the earth.

4. VOLCANIC
EARTHQUAK
 2.Volcanic earthquakes
ES
(Volcano); This earthquake
(VOLCANO)
occurred as a result of
magma activity, which
usually occurs before the
volcano erupted. If
activeness higher it will
cause an explosion that
would also lead to the
occurrence of earthquakes.
The earthquake was only
felt around the volcano.

5. THE CAUSES OF EARTHQUAKES
Most earthquakes result from the
release of energy generated by
the pressure made ​ by the moving
plates. The longer the pressure
was becoming enlarged and
eventually reach the state where
the pressure can not be detained
again by the edge of the slab.
That's when an earthquake will
occur. Earthquakes usually
happen at plate boundaries such
slabs

6. THE HISTORY OF LARGE
EARTHQUAKES IN INDONESIA
 October 26, 2010, earthquakes in the Mentawai scale 2.7 on
the Richter Scale, the death toll to 9 November was found to
reach 156 people. The earthquake is then also generate a
tsunami.
 June 16, 2010, earthquake of 7.1 on the Richter Scale Biak,
Papua.
 7 April 2010, An earthquake with a strength of 2.7 Richter
scale in northern Sumatra more centered 60km from
Sinabang, Aceh. Not cause a tsunami, causing physical
damage in some areas, there has been no information of
casualties.
 30 September 2009, West Sumatra earthquake was tectonic
earthquakes originating from the shift Semangko fault, this
earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale (BMG
Indonesia) or 7.9 on the Richter scale (BMG U.S.) shake-
Pariaman Padang, Indonesia. Caused at least 1,100 people
were killed and thousands trapped in rubble.

7. EARTHQUAKE
• Building collapse
• Fire
• The fall fatalities
• Surface soil into glue and roads to be
broken
• Landslides caused by shocks
• Flooding caused damage to the
embankment
• The earthquake on the seabed that
causes a tsunami

8. Facing the
earthquake
tips

9. WHEN INSIDE THE
HOUSE
• Do not panic and do not run outside,
take shelter under a table or bed
• If no, protect the head with a pillow
or other object.
• Stay away from bookcases,
wardrobes and window glass.
• Berwae of the ceiling might collapse,
objects hanging on the wall and so on.

DRIVING A VEHICLE
• Immediately stop in the
open.
• Do not stop on the bridge or
under an overpass / bridge
crossings.

11. WHEN YOU ARE
OUTDOORS
• Stay away from high buildings, walls,
sheer cliffs, power centers and power
lines, billboards, tall trees, etc..
• Try to reach an open area.
• Stay away from shelves and glass
windows.

12. WHEN THEY ARE ON THE
TRAIN
• Hold firmly to the mast so that
you will not fall if the train is
stopped abruptly
• Be calm following the official
explanation of the train
• One understands the information
officer or station wagon would
cause panic

13. GIVE HELP
 • It is predictable that many people will be
injured during a major earthquake. Because of
health workers from hospitals will have
difficulty coming to the scene then be prepared
to give first aid to the people around you.
Evacuation:
• Places of refuge are usually set by local
governments. Displacement needs to be done if
the earthquake caused widespread fires. In
principle, the evacuations carried out on foot
under the escort of police officers or
government agencies. * * * Bring the items to
taste.

14. LISTEN TO INFORMATION
• When a large earthquake occurs, the
community mental shock. To prevent

and act in accordance with the correct
information. You can get correct
information from the authorities, police,
or officer of PMK. Do not act because the
information people are not clear.
