The subduction zone produced two destructive earthquakes and tsunamis in 2006 and 1994. An intraslab earthquake in 2009 also caused severe destruction. [5] Compared to the highly oblique convergence across the plate boundary in Sumatra, near Java, it is close to orthogonal. However, there is still a small component of left-lateral strike-slip ...

Recordings of earthquakes in West Java began in 1844; earthquakes in 1910, 1912, 1968, 1982 and 2000 damaged many homes. Several people were killed by the earthquake in 1982. In 2000, a magnitude 5.1 shock left about 1,900 homes badly damaged. [7] Although shallow inland earthquakes in Java are infrequent, they result in large casualties.
Large numbers of earthquakes of smaller magnitude occur very regularly due to the meeting of major tectonic plates in the region. Based on the records of the USGS, Indonesia has had more than 150 earthquakes with magnitude > 7 in the period 1901–2019.
