RING OF FIRE

According to Kodoatie & Sjarief (2010:113) they mentioned that The location of
Indonesia which is located in the tectonic plate or also in the region ring of fire, which
means that Indonesia is prone to earthquakes and can cause a tsunami. This ring of fire
explains the relationship of activity volcanoes that run from Indonesia to Japan,
connecting from Alaska through the western US to South America. This ring of fire is
also referred to as the great and great circle of magma Indonesia is the pinnacle of the
circle of fire that.

According to Arif (2016) Coordinator of the North Maluku Indonesian Geological

Association (IAGI), he said that the Pacific fire ring is an area that often experiences
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that surround the Pacific Ocean basin.

Based on the search, the Pacific region is shaped like a horseshoe and covers an area of
40,000 kilometers. The area is often referred to as an earthquake belt.

The connection with the earthquake in Aceh, Sumatra and the Halmahera Islands,
North Maluku, said Deddy, was not much different. The volcanic area is generally
surrounded by volcanoes that have formed islands, such as the mainland of
Halmahera."Tectonic activity in Mandala Halmahera also influences existing volcanic
activity. Halmahera Islands are an area with tertiary volcanoes to pratersier, and Ternate
with Mount Gamalama is quarterly in size," Deddy said when visited by Liputan6.com,
on UMMU Ternate Campus on Thursday December 8, 2016.

The geologist from Gajah Mada University revealed that Indonesian people are
currently likened to breathing in a circle of fire. He said that the ring-shaped circle of
fire occurred directly from the tectonic plate and its movement, as well as collisions
from the crustal plate.Deddy said, the southern arm of Halmahera was affected by
activity on the bird's head with the Caroline Plate in the north to east Pacific and Indo
Australia."Meanwhile, the Sula Islands are the oldest region with a carbon geological
age, also an area before pemekaran with Papua New Guinea, Australia and India," he
said.
 Furthermore, in accordance with the mandate of Article 35 of Law No. 24 of 2007
concerning Disaster Management is explained that "One way in implementing disaster
management in a situation is not disaster happens is by implementing and enforcing
spatial plans ".
