Why are so many Quakes Jarring Indonesia?


There were a dozens of earthquakes over the past two day in Indonesia. Actually, there were three big earthquakes and people are alerted for warning of tsunamis. what causes these earthquake? a profesional explained the cause of them. The big earthquake that happen on thursday was caused by the movements of two plates. The Australia plate which moves 2 inches every year to north east and the island sumatra collide with another plate. As a result , this causes a lot strees which can't stand for long time so the effect is the earthquake. After a big quake is very common to expect more earthquakes. For the moment, the earthquakes has left 10 deads and 100 injuries.

In my opinion, this is very bad news and I hope everything goes okay in Indonesia. I had bad experiencies with earthquakes. My country had one big earthquake in 2001. It was really bad experience and many people died. It is very curious that after that 2001 earthquake there have been more small seismic activity. People always feel some one once in a while. There are very common in my country.
