The rate of convergence across the line of the Sunda–Java Trench is 7.5 cm per year. Eastwards from Bali, the Sunda Arc is also being thrust over the Bali and Flores back-arc basins on a series of south-dipping thrusts. Focal mechanisms for earthquakes near Bali are dominantly thrust sense on both the subduction interface and the system of thrust faults to the north.McCaffrey R.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the 14 July shock occurred 915 km on east-southeast of Jakarta at a depth of 25.4 km on although the hypocenter may actually have been as deep as 40 km on. The main shock lasted for a duration of nearly a minute. Several fumaroles reportedly formed in the Yeh Kuning sub-district of Jembrana and released sulfurous fumes. The Jakarta Geophysical Service initially believed the epicenter to be in the Bali Strait, some 25 km on west of the location observed by the USGS. A subsequent shock of 5.9 s occurred at 18:23 local time on 14 July 10:23 GMT 14 July a short distance north, although the hypocenter was at a more shallow 16.3 km on.USGS ShakeMap Atlas (Version 1.0) – 1976-07-14-1023 https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/shakemap/atlas/shake/197607141023/ United States Geological Survey 12 June 2015 November 4, 2008 Damage According to data from the 1971 census, over nine hundred thousand people resided in the three regencies of the island that suffered significant structural damage and fatalities as a result of the shock; Buleleng, Jembrana and Tabanan.
