Gempa M 4,1 Getaran Kuta Bali, Ini Penjelasan BMKG

DENPASAR - A tectonic earthquake measuring 4.1 magnitude was felt in the Kuta area, Badung Regency, Bali.

Head of BMKG Region III Denpasar, Cahyo Nugroho, explained that the results of the analysis showed that this earthquake had a magnitude of M 4.1, precisely located in the sea at a distance of 92 km southwest of South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali, at a depth of 22 km.

"By taking into account the location of the epicenter and the depth of the hypocenter, the earthquake that occurred was a shallow type of earthquake due to the subduction activity of the Indo-Australian plate under the Eurasian plate," said Cahyo, Tuesday, October 3.

Meanwhile, the impact of the earthquake was based on community reports, namely the shock felt in the Kuta area.

"Until now, there have been no reports of damage caused by the earthquake. The results of tsunami modeling with tectonic earthquake sources show that this earthquake has no potential for a tsunami," he added.

As of 18.50 WITA, the results of BMKG monitoring have not shown any aftershock activity.

"The public is advised to remain calm and not be influenced by issues that cannot be justified. In order to avoid buildings that are cracked or damaged by the earthquake. Check and make sure the building where you live is earthquake-resistant enough, or there is no damage due to earthquake vibrations that endanger the stability of the building before you return to your house," he said.
