The country of more than 270 million people often experiences earthquakes, volcanic activity and ocean waves called tsunamis.

This is because Indonesia sits within the so-called “Pacific Ring of Fire,” a collection of volcanoes and fault lines.

这是因为印度尼西亚位于所谓的“环太平洋火山带”内,即火山和断裂带的集合。

In 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake off Sumatra island in northern Indonesia set off a huge tsunami that struck 14 countries.

2004年,印度尼西亚北部苏门答腊岛附近发生9.1级地震,其引发的巨大海啸袭击了14个国家。

The disaster killed 226,000 people along the Indian Ocean coastline, more than half of them in Indonesia.
