Why can the impact of the Russian earthquake reach Indonesia? This is BMKG's explanation

Jakarta – Director of Gempabumi and Tsunami BMKG, Dr. Daryono gave an explanation of the reasons for the 8.7 earthquake Russia, the impact could reach Indonesia. Daryono said it happened because there was a great power to give a long push. “Because of its great power, and it offers a tsunami wave that has a significant impact, so that it can reach the area of Indonesia, associated with the size that occurs as an earthquake and information terminal information found on the seabed,” Daryono said when asked about “why the impact of the Russian earthquake can reach a per -pointed BNPB, Wednesday, 7/30/2025). Daryono explained that this earthquake was caused by rock deformity on the sea floor. He said it was a real threat to Indonesia and there was no doubt. Scroll to Continue with Content “That This Earthquake was triggered by rock deformation in the field of contact between plates and erasia which is on the sebed, this earthquake has a magnitude of 8.7 indeed the area historically can indeed occur a big earthquake, and this is all. That the megathrust earthquake delivered, is not something that must be doubted, but this is a real threat even though this occurred in Russia, “Explained Daryono. He said this earthquake caused the impact of changes in the column of the sea water column. Therefore, this earthquake increases the potential of the tsunami. “Related to the strength of this earthquake, the accumulation of the terrain contained has accumulated for a long time and when tension exceeds the boundaries of rotary, an earthquake 8.7 occurs, and due to its power, it will cause deformation, so that it has an impact on seawater columns until there is a movement of seawater,” he explained. “So the tsunami is not a sea wave, but the water period that moves and moves, it is the tsunami, the further the energy is definitely weakened, but we will certainly monitor the tsunami impacts,” he added. Once again, Daryono asked residents to be vigilant, although the Tsunami alert was below 50 cm. Because there is a narrow bay in Indonesia that can increase the tsunami wave height. “And although the status in Indonesia is aware, we are aware of local factors such as narrow bays that have the potential to strengthen the tsunami waves, so that it will increase the height, so over 50 cm,” he said. Previously, BMKG released ten regions of the Republic of Indonesia with a tsunami with the estimated Tsunami 16:08:54 White5.⁠ Ampat ampat estimated time at 16:18:54 White6.⁠ ⁠ Biak Numfor Restimation Time at 16:21:54 White7.54 ⁠ ⁠supisuali estimation of Time Arrive White8.⁠ Arrived at 16:30:24 Wit10.⁠ ⁠Sarmi Estimated time came white at 16:30:24.
