Asianadesun, Thursday, October 13, 2011, at 10:16 pm, the earth of Bali was rocked by massive earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale. The disciples panicked running out while avoiding the ruins of the roof, the tourists raced out of the hotel and away from the beach, hospital patients were evacuated immediately. Everyone burst out.
A few hours later, at 14:52 pm, earthquake rocked the island again. Its strength is much smaller, "only" 5.6 SR. After all that, rocking feel strong enough.
Traumatized residents have not abated, circulating wild SMS calls will be back shaking devastating Bali on Thursday night at 17:30 pm. The news circulating calling magnitude would rise to the level of distress: 7.9 SR.
Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics immediately denied the issue. The question, is it true Balinese potentially devastating earthquake rocked?
Asked his response, seismologists LIPI Danny Hilman explains, true magnitude 6.8 earthquake that rocked Bali is not strange. "Bali has many faults. There is in the south, north, also on the island itself," he said when contacted VIVAnews.com. "There was nothing unusual with earthquakes in Bali. Since the first lot of earthquakes. Bali including vulnerable."
National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) recorded the most deadly earthquake in the region occurred on July 14, 1976 in Buleleng. 6.5 SR-based strength in the ground. At that time, 471 died.
Danny admitted, until recently active faults in Bali have not mapped properly. "His strength is not as big of Sumatra, but not bad, 6.8 to 7 SR," he said.
What about the 7.9-magnitude earthquake potential issues? "No predictions like that," he asserted.
Earthquake in Bali, Danny added, should be taken wisely. Because, in addition to dense population, Bali is an international tourist destination. "It should be educational seismicity, making evacuation routes, earthquake-resistant building regulations, apply SOP evacuation in hotels and offices," he said.
Bali earthquake according to him must be addressed with a positive, though "until now, there is also no heed, is considered disturbing the investment."
To predict the potential for an earthquake in Bali, also could be seen through the history kegempaannya. The U.S. Geological Survey, USGS, noting the island was rocked by a massive earthquake had, among others, on November 27, 1815 and January 21, 1917. Then, there was a 6.0 magnitude earthquake on May 18, 1963, magnitude 6.5 earthquake on July 14, 1976, magnitude 6.3 earthquake on October 20, 1979, and the magnitude 6.6 earthquake on December 17, 1979.
In a paper entitled Seismic Hazard Assessment in Denpasar Bali, the drafting team of ITB mention of the deadly earthquake ever shook Bali on December 17, 1979. At that time 25 people were killed and 400 others badly injured. The oldest most damaging earthquake occurred on March 29, 1862 in Buleleng. (Kd
