Located on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the most geologically active region of Earth, Indonesia is prone to earthquakes. In December 2004, a magnitude-9.1 earthquake off Sumatra set off a tsunami that claimed 230,000 lives in a dozen countries.
It was the second quake to hit Lombok in a week. A magnitude 6.4 quake killed 16 people with 300 people injured on July 29. The Rinjani volcano, located in the northeastern part of Lombok, has had several landslides and is still closed.
