The amount of stress released by an earthquake can be calculated with a stress drop, the stress ratio before and after an earthquake where the stress accumulated in a fault or a subduction zone is immediately released during an earthquake. The purpose of this research is to calculate the amount of stress drop in faults and subduction in Maluku and Halmahera and their variations and relate them to the geological conditions in the area so that the tectonic characteristics in the area can be identified. This research employed mathematical analysis and the Nelder Mead Simplex nonlinear inversion methods. The results show that Maluku and Halmahera are the area with complex tectonic conditions and large earthquake impacts. The Maluku sea earthquake generated a stress drop of 0.81 MPa with a reverse fault mechanism in the zone of subduction, while for the Halmahera earthquake the stress drop value was 52.72 MPa, a typical strike-slip mechanism in the fault zone. It can be concluded that there is a difference in the stress drop between the subduction and fault zones; the stress drop in the fault was greater than that in the subduction zone due to different rock structure and faulting mechanisms as well as differences in the move slip rate that plays a role in the process of holding out the stress on a rock. This information is very important to know the amount of pressure released from the earthquake which has a very large impact as part of disaster mitigation measures.

Sumatera merupakan daerah dengan kondisi tektonik yang rumit dimana terjadi konvergensi lempeng India terhadap lempeng Eurasia dan terdapat beberapa sesar aktif. Untuk melihat keaktifan daerah Sumatera penulis menghitung stress drop di Sumatera dan membahas bagaimana kaitanya dengan tektonik secara regional. Stress drop diperoleh dengan menganalisis spektrum displacement observasi menggunakan metode inversi nonlinier Nelder Mead Simplex. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa stress drop pada daerah crustal segment Siulak menghasilkan nilai terbesar yaitu 39.26 Mpa dikarenakan daerah tersebut memiliki slip rate yang kecil jika dibandingkan dengan segment lainnya di Sumatera. Zona Ninety East Ridge menghasilkan nilai stress drop yang kecil 2.6 - 4.3 Mpa dikarenakan daerah ini merupakan daerah rekahan serta patahan. Daerah accretional wedge menghasilkan nilai stress drop tinggi 20.65 Mpa, merupakan lapisan sedimen tebal sehingga mampu menahan stress. Zona Forearc basin menghasilkan nilai stress drop kecil 0.49 Mpa karena merupakan lapisan sedimen yang mudah mengalami deformasi. Stress drop di Sumatera dipengaruhi oleh tipe tektonik, material batuan, serta slip rate masing-masing region di Sumatera.
