Geological conditions Indonesia: the Indo-Australian Plate, Eurasian Plate and the Pacific
Indonesia is an area of 3 large tectonic plates meet, the Indo-Australian Plate, Eurasian and Pacific plates. Indo-Australian Plate collided with the Eurasian plate off the coast of Sumatra, Java and Nusa Tenggara, while the northern Pacific in northern New Guinea and the Moluccas. In the vicinity of the location of the meeting is the accumulation plate collision energy accumulated to a point where the layers of the earth is no longer able to hold off the pile so that energy in the form of earthquakes. This instantaneous release of energy cause various effects on the building because of the acceleration of seismic waves, tsunamis, landslides, and liquefaction. The magnitude of the impact of earthquakes on buildings depends on a few things; such is the scale of the earthquake, epicenter distance, the mechanism of the source, the type of soil layer on the building site and the quality of the building.
Tectonic events were quite active, in addition to causing the earthquake and tsunami, also bring blessings to the formation of many sedimentary basins (sedimentary basin). Sedimentary basin accommodates further into the host rock and hydrocarbon reservoir rocks. Content results in oil and natural gas is what we are now many mines and become the backbone of our economy so 1990s.
Indonesia, also a country that is geologically a unique position because it is at the center of the collision of the Indian Plate Tectonics Australia in the south, the northern part of the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate in the Northeast. This resulted in Indonesia has a complex tectonic structure of the direction that the Fore arc collision zone, Volcanic arc and Back arc. Fore arc is the area immediately adjacent to the collision zone or often referred to as the active zone due to faulting commonly found on land and at sea. In this area the main constituent of rock material is also very specific environment and contain natural resources of minerals are quite large. Volcanic arc is an active mountain path in Indonesia, which has a distinctive topography with unique natural resources as well. Back behind the arc is part of a series of tectonic arc relatively most stable with almost uniform topography serves as a sedimentation. All these areas have the particularity and uniqueness that are rarely found in other areas, both keanegaragaman biological and geological diversity.

The implications of the tectonic processes that form the archipelagic Indonesia can be seen in the image below:
The picture above shows the distribution of volcanoes (red triangles), point earthquake (plus sign purple) and hot spots (asterisk orange). The series of volcanoes and earthquakes point is always associated with subduction zones (can you see in the picture above meeting plate). Islands of Sumatra, Java, Flores, Maluku, Sulawesi and Papua northern part will be prone to volcanic and earthquake. Almost all islands in Indonesia has the potential earthquake except the island of Borneo is relatively safe
