Abstract

Indonesia is a region prone to various natural disasters, including earthquakes. It is located at the convergence of three major tectonic plates: the Eurasian Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, and the Pacific Plate. The collision of these three plates causes earthquakes. The Special Region of Yogyakarta is one of the areas that has been impacted multiple times by damaging earthquakes due to its proximity to the meeting point of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian Plates. This study was conducted to examine earthquake statistics in the Special Region of Yogyakarta based on analyses of a-value and b-value in this area, thereby identifying potential earthquake recurrence. Secondary data from the IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) earthquake catalog from 2006 to 2020 were used for this seismic analysis. The data processing results showed that a-values ranged between 3.5 and 7, with an average value across the entire region of 5.17; meanwhile, b-values ranged between 0.7 and 1.2, with an average value across all areas being 0.775. The area requiring caution is the southern sea region of Special Region Yogyakarta, which has potential for earthquakes with magnitudes up to 6 occurring within intervals of every 5–10 years.

Abstract

Swarm earthquakes occur repeatedly within a certain time frame and occur in the same location with small earthquake strengths. A swarm earthquake occurred in the Ambarawa region of Central Java from October to November 2021. This research aims to determine the characteristics of new faults and the causes of fault activity in the 2021 Ambarawa earthquake. The method used in determining the characteristics of faults that cause swarm earthquakes is P wave first motion polarity recorded by the seismograph. A total of 7 earthquake data were analyzed using the P-wave first motion polarity method which produced compression/dilation data, azimuthal angle, and take-off angle. Analysis of the focal mechanism using compression/dilatation data, azimuthal angle, and take-off angle produces strike, dip, and rake values. The strike value in the focal mechanism of the 2021 Ambarawa earthquake ranges from N 54°, N 69°, N 168° to N 208°, and N 292°. The dip value in the focal mechanism of the 2021 Ambarawa earthquake has a value of 40° to 88°. The rake value in the focal mechanism of the 2021 Ambarawa earthquake has a negative value, indicating that it is a type of normal fault. The characteristics of the cause of the earthquake are caused by local faults in the Telomoyo Volcano area with normal fault types and shear faults. Local fault activity is indicated by the local pressure on the geothermal reservoir that flows magma fluid from the reservoir to the surface.
