About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The countries along it include Northwest of US, Mexico, Chile, Canada, Russia, Japan, Philippine, Indonesia, New Zealand, Antarctica.

The next most seismic region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17% of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt.

The northwest of Indonesia lies in The Pacific Ring of Fire, and the southeast of the country lies in the Alpide belt. This country is doomed, I would never live there.
