5.0 M Earthquake in Megathrust Zone Jolts Lampung Early Today

24 August 2022 06:45 WIB

TEMPO.CO, JakartaAn earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 jolted Liwa of Lampung in the early hours of Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at 02:46 local time. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) confirmed an updated parameter at a magnitude of 4.9.

The quake’s epicenter was located at 6.34° South Latitude and 103.67° East Longitude, or precisely at sea 119 kilometers south of Krui City and at a depth of 43 kilometers.

The acting head of the agency’s quake and tsunami Center, Daryono, said the quake on the West Coast of Sumatra, Lampung, was a tectonic one.

“Taking into account the epicenter and the hypocenter, the quake was a shallow one caused by the subduction activity of the Indo-Australian Plate which subducted under the Eurasian Plate, precisely in the megathrust zone,” he explained.

Besides, the analysis of the source mechanism showed that it had a thrust fault mechanism.

The shaking was felt in Liwa areas with an intensity level II of the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. This means it was felt by several people and light objects were swinging. The quake, however, has no tsunami potential.

According to Daryono, as of 03:05 local time, the BMKG did not monitor any aftershock. Residents are asked to remain calm and not be influenced by baseless issues, as well as avoid cracked or damaged buildings caused by the earthquake.
