The tectonics processes in Indonesia formed major structures in Indonesia. The most prominent fault in the west of Indonesia is the Semangko Fault or the Great Sumatran Fault, a dextral strike-slip fault along Sumatra Island (about 1,900 km). The formation of this fault zone is related to the subduction zone in the west of Sumatra.
Banda Arc tectonic map. The Banda Arc (main arc, Inner, and Outer) is a dual chain of islands in eastern Indonesia that is around 2,300 km long. It is the result of the collision of a continent and an intra-oceanic island arc.
Law of Indonesia is based on a civil law system, intermixed with local customary law and Dutch law.Before European presence and colonization began in the sixteenth century, indigenous kingdoms ruled the archipelago independently with their own custom laws, known as adat (unwritten, traditional rules still observed in the Indonesian society).

The Great Sumatran fault, also known as Semangko fault, is a large strike-slip fault running the entire length of the island of Sumatra.This Indonesian island is located in a highly seismic area of the world, including a subduction zone off the west coast of the island.
Indonesia is a country located close to tectonic plate boundaries which causes it to have many active faults and is prone to earthquakes, [1]
The Sunda plate is a minor tectonic plate straddling the equator in the Eastern Hemisphere on which the majority of Southeast Asia is located. [1]The Sunda plate was formerly considered a part of the Eurasian plate, but the GPS measurements have confirmed its independent movement at 10 mm/yr eastward relative to Eurasia.
With an area of 60,000 km 2, and depths up to 15 km, the Kutai is the largest and deepest Tertiary age basin in Indonesia. [1] Plate tectonic evolution in the Indonesian region of SE Asia has produced a diverse array of basins in the Cenozoic. [2] The Kutai is an extensional basin in a general foreland setting.
