Indonesia is located amongst three
active earth plates, namely Indo-Australian
plate, the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate
and traversed by an active world mountain
path that is Pacific and Mediterranean Circum.
This makes Indonesia a part of the ‘Ring of
Fire’ or world Pacific ring of fire which is an
active mountain path, therefore Indonesia
is susceptible to volcanic and tectonic
earthquakes.

in 2050 reaches 10 billion; therefore, it
Indonesia is located amongst three
active earth plates, and makes it
a part of the ‘Ring of Fire’ or world
Pacific ring of fire which which is
an active mountain path, therefore
Indonesia is susceptible to volcanic
and tectonic earthquakes.
In the future, it should be
anticipated of shortages of food
caused by several factors including
environmental destruction, land
conversion, high fossil fuel prices,
and climate change.
