SERAMBINEWS.COM Based on the results of expert studies and seismologists, the possibility of an earthquake in Silacap has been predicted by BMKG chief Prof. Er. Dwikorita Karnavati, M.Sc. PHD

From the results of worst-case tsunami modeling, it is expected that an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 in the megathrust region will result in a collision of this plate.

Possibility of a tsunami with a height of more than 10 meters along the coast of Silacap as a result of the earthquake.

Dwikorita Karnavati said the earthquake and tsunami were likely the result of modeling a worst-case tsunami.

This explanation was given by Dwikorita when she opened the Earthquake Field School (SLG) organized by the BMKG Banjarnegara Geophysics Station in Silacap on Wednesday (27/7/2022).

According to him, Silacap, which is on the southern coast of Java, faces a plate collision zone between the Indian Ocean Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

In this activity, Dikorita reminded the public about the danger of earthquakes and tsunamis south of the island of Java.

Therefore, he asked the local government and the community to continue their preparations to anticipate the worst-case scenario.

Dikorita said the worst-case scenario was not a prediction, but the result of a study by experts and seismologists.

However, when this will happen, he said, cannot be known, as there is no technology so far that can predict when an earthquake will occur.
