The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes that dot the edges of the Pacific Ocean; it is the most seismically active region in the world.
Geologists are theorising that tectonic plates are shifting around Indonesia and that there may be some imbalances and shifts. At least that is one of the theories being posited to explain the recent spate of earthquakes from Lombok to now, Sulawesi.
About 90% of all earthquakes strike within the Ring of Fire. Parts of Southeast Asia that are in the ring have been roused and rumbling lately, causing death and destruction. But this is hardly new.
That's why there are so many earthquakes/tsunamis around Indonesia.
