Location map of Borneo in SE Asia. The Red River Fault is included in the map. The base of rocks that underlie Borneo, an island in Southeast Asia, was formed by the arc-continent collisions, continent–continent collisions and subduction–accretion due to convergence between the Asian, India–Australia, and Philippine Sea-Pacific plates over the last 400 million years.

Location of Borneo in Maritime Southeast Asia. Borneo was formed through Mesozoic accretion of microcontinental fragments, ophiolite terranes and island arc crust onto a Paleozoic continental core. At the beginning of the Cenozoic Borneo formed a promontory of Sundaland which partly separated from Asian mainland by the proto-South China Sea. [19]
Geological history of Borneo Metadata This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.
The map surface of mainland Asia is entirely contained within a Geodetic quadrangle formed from segments of latitude going through its north and south extremes and segments of longitude passing through the east and west extremes.

However, the discovery of a previously unknown orangutan population in Malaysian Borneo is reason to hope. Threats Human actions have reduced orangutan habitats by more than 80% over the past 20 ...
Simplified geologic map of Kalimantan (Borneo) Island Map of Borneo and surrounding features. Made using GeoMapApp. The basement rock of Borneo is a complex mosaic of geologic terrains, commonly interpreted as the product of primarily Mesozoic accretion of micro-continental fragments, island arc material, oceanic crustal material and marginal basin fill onto the Paleozoic core of the Schwaner ...
