Series of Earthquakes Occur in Four Regions in Central Java

Mount Telomoyo is in Semarang and Magelang regencies.

The mountain, with an altitude of 1,894 meters above sea level, is a strato-shaped volcano but has never been recorded to erupt.

In the historical record of strong and destructive earthquakes, the Salatiga, Banyubiru and Ambarawa regions have experienced several significant earthquakes such as the ones in September 1849.

There were also major earthquakes in some of those areas in July 1865, October 1865, April 1866, October 1872, and February 2014.

The Salatiga, Banyubiru, Bawen, and Ambarwa areas are close to the active faults, namely the Merapi Merbabu Fault and the Rawa Pening Fault.

For this reason, strong earthquakes can occur at any time. (mcr20/antara/jpnn)
