Tectonic setting
File:Java Tectonic Setting Map.png
Java lies near an active convergent boundary that separates the Sunda plate to the north and the Australian plate to the south. At the boundary, marked by the Sunda Trench, the northward-moving Australian plate subducts beneath the Sunda plate. The subduction zone is capable of generating earthquakes of up to magnitude 8.7, while the Australian plate may also host deeper earthquakes within the downgoing lithosphere (intraslab earthquakes) beneath the coast of Java. The subduction zone produced two destructive earthquakes and tsunamis in 2006 and 1994. An intraslab earthquake in 2009 also caused severe destruction.{{Cite journal |last1=Cipta |first1=Athanasius |last2=Cummins |first2=Phil R. |last3=Irsyam |first3=Masyhur |last4=Hidayati |first4=Sri |year=2018 |title=Basin Resonance and Seismic Hazard in Jakarta, Indonesia |journal=Geosciences |volume=8 |issue=4 |page=128 |doi=10.3390/geosciences8040128 |bibcode=2018Geosc...8..128C |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324427092 |doi-access=free|hdl=1885/251080 |hdl-access=free }}
Compared to the highly oblique convergence across the plate boundary in Sumatra, near Java, it is close to orthogonal. However, there is still a small component of left-lateral strike-slip that is accommodated within the over-riding Sunda plate. The Cimandiri Fault is one of the structures thought to be responsible.{{Cite journal |last1=Daryono |first1=M.R. |last2=Natawidjaja |first2=D.H. |last3=Sapiie |first3=B. |last4=Cummins |first4=P. |date=2019 |title=Earthquake Geology of the Lembang Fault, West Java, Indonesia |journal=Tectonophysics |volume=751 |pages=180–191 |doi=10.1016/j.tecto.2018.12.014 |bibcode=2019Tectp.751..180D |s2cid=133823206}} Field investigations, combined with morphometric analysis show that the Cimandiri Fault zone is a relatively broad zone of faulting and folding, with six segments identified. Older parts of the fault zone show evidence of dominant left-lateral strike-slip, while younger parts show mainly oblique slip, with a mixture of reverse faulting and left-lateral strike-slip.{{Cite journal |last1=Marliyani |first1=G.I. |last2=Arrowsmith |first2=J.R. |last3=Whipple |first3=K.X. |date=2016 |title=Characterization of slow slip rate faults in humid areas: Cimandiri fault zone, Indonesia |journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface |volume=121 |issue=12 |pages=2287–2308 |doi=10.1002/2016JF003846 |bibcode=2016JGRF..121.2287M |s2cid=132876601}}
Recordings of earthquakes in West Java began in 1844; earthquakes in 1910, 1912, 1968, 1982 and 2000 damaged many homes. Several people were killed by the earthquake in 1982. In 2000, a magnitude 5.1 shock left about 1,900 homes badly damaged.{{cite news |last1=Michella |first1=W. |title=BMKG: Wilayah Cianjur Kerap Diguncang Gempa sejak Tahun 1844 |url=https://nasional.okezone.com/read/2022/11/21/337/2711880/bmkg-wilayah-cianjur-kerap-diguncang-gempa-sejak-tahun-1844 |access-date=21 November 2022 |agency=Okezone.com |date=21 November 2022 |language=id}} Although shallow inland earthquakes in Java are infrequent, they result in large casualties. In 1924, two earthquakes situated near Wonosobo killed nearly 800 people. Four other earthquakes in the 20th century on the island also caused between 10 and 100 deaths. Another shallow crustal earthquake centered near Yogyakarta in 2006 left some 5,749 people dead.{{cite web |last1=Cummins |first1=P. R. |last2=Daryono |first2=M. R. |last3=Martin |first3=S.

According to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), the earthquake occurred at a depth of {{cvt|11|km|0}}, classifying it as a shallow event. It had an epicenter situated along the slopes of Mount Gede.{{cite news |last1=Budianto |first1=A. |title=Sesar Cimandiri Diragukan Jadi Penyebab Gempa Besar Cianjur, Ada Sesar Lain? |url=https://nasional.okezone.com/read/2022/11/23/337/2713319/sesar-cimandiri-diragukan-jadi-penyebab-gempa-besar-cianjur-ada-sesar-lain |access-date=23 November 2022 |agency=Okezone |date=23 November 2022 |language=id}} The United States Geological Survey (USGS) stated that the earthquake occurred as a result of strike-slip faulting within the crust of the Sunda plate. The earthquake's focal mechanism indicate that the rupture occurred on either a steeply dipping north–striking, right-lateral strike-slip fault, or a steeply dipping east-striking left-lateral strike-slip fault.{{citation-attribution|1={{cite web |author1=National Earthquake Information Center |title=M 5.6 – 18 km WSW of Ciranjang-hilir, Indonesia |url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ir9t/executive |publisher=United States Geological Survey |access-date=21 November 2022 |date=21 November 2022}} }}
Two intersecting faults which trended west-southwest-east-northeast and north-northwest-south-southeast, respectively, were identified through an analysis of over 440 relocated aftershocks. These faults were previously unidentified and buried by volcanic sediments. The relocation analysis revealed two zones of aftershocks measuring {{cvt|6–8|km}} that corresponded with two fault strands. The earthqake likely ruptured along the west-southwest-east-northeast fault and triggered aftershocks along the intersecting strand.{{cite journal |last1=Zulfakriza |first1=Zulfakriza |last2=Nugraha |first2=Andri Dian |last3=Heryandoko |first3=Nova |last4=Ry |first4=Rexha Verdhora |last5=Muttaqy |first5=Faiz |last6=Andika |first6=Ade |last7=Azhari |first7=Muhammad Fikri |last8=Putra |first8=Ade Surya |last9=Palgunadi |first9=Kadek Hendrawan |last10=Cummins |first10=Phil R. |last11=Supendi |first11=Pepen |last12=Lesmana |first12=Aditya |last13=Sahara |first13=David P. |last14=Puspito |first14=Nanang T. |title=Seismic source analysis of the destructive earthquake November 21, 2022, Mw 5.6 Cianjur (Indonesia) from relocated aftershock |journal=Scientific Reports |date=2024 |issue=12142 |doi=10.1038/s41598-024-60408-9|pmc=11130185 }}
