90% Informative

A 9.1 moment magnitude ( Mw ) earthquake occurred off the west coast of Aceh in December 2004 .

The quake, originating from a depth of 30 kilometers below the sea, triggered a tsunami that devastated the province.

Research in 2021 suggested the earthquake's magnitude was actually greater than what was previously recorded.

More than 227,000 people were killed, with Aceh alone accounting for approximately 167,000 .

Indonesia 's high disaster risk has attracted scholars from all around the world, particularly following the 2004 Aceh Tsunami .

From 2005 to 2024 , Google Scholar recorded approximately 1,000 scientific works on Indonesian earthquakes and tsunamis.

Indonesian academics have also investigated big earthquake origins and aftershocks.

By 2024 , the system would have 521 seismic stations spread across Indonesia .
