Fault in Indonesia (Sumatra)

FAULT :

is a crack in the earth's crust along which block on both side engaged each other in a direction parallel to the crack. 

in Indonesia, activity fault zone in central Sumatra deserve attention, because the zone is a zone that is prone to shifting of fault activity can have an impact on the onset of signification damage to the strategic location of humans.

Distribution of earthquake prone areas due to central Sumatra fault is a round the fault, and the size of the damage will depend on the length, width, depth Hiposentrum earthquakes, rock types affected by the earthquake, the magnitude of the shift rocks (displacement), duration of tremor.

Large areas with potential damage resulting from the earthquake fault is in central Sumatra (Solok, Padang Panjang, Bukit Tinggi) while the potential damage caused by earthquake faulting central Sumatra is  at Muara Sijunjung, Sawah Lunto. and potential damage small earthquake fault is in central Sumatra is City in east Muara Sijunjung, Sawah lunto. For a city on the west coast of Sumatra, Padang has such a high level of vulnerability to earthquake of tectonic plates converging process the Indian Ocean and the Eurasian continental plate and tsunami waves that can generated.
