Subduction, Baby. The oceanic Indo-Australian plate is scooting under the continental Eurasian plate at the rate of about 67 millimeters (about a quarter of an inch) per year. This movement, friction, and melting of rock has been going on for a long time. It not only causes earthquakes and tsunamis, it caused the volcanoes that built Indonesia to begin with.
