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.
Tectonophysics, The International Journal of Geotectonics and the Geology and Physics of the Interior of the Earth is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier. It was established in 1964 and covers the field of tectonophysics, including kinematics, structure, composition, and dynamics of the solid Earth at all scales. [1]
Geotectonics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer.The scope of the journal is the tectonics, magmatism, metamorphism, structural geology, mineral resources, geodynamics and the deep structure of the Earth.
Indonesia has relatively high tectonic and volcanic activities. It lies on the convergence between the Eurasian , Indo-Australian , Pacific , and Philippine Sea plate . The Sunda megathrust is a 5,500 km long fault located off southern coasts of Sumatra, Java and Lesser Sunda Islands, where the Indo-Australian Plate is thrusting northeastward ...
The countries with the highest share of articles published in scientific journals according to the Nature Index 2024, which is valid for the calendar year 2023. [2] The "count" is the total number of articles to which nationals of the country have contributed.
Tectonophysics is concerned with movements in the Earth's crust and deformations over scales from meters to thousands of kilometers. [2] These govern processes on local and regional scales and at structural boundaries, such as the destruction of continental crust (e.g. gravitational instability) and oceanic crust (e.g. subduction), convection in the Earth's mantle (availability of melts), the ...
Large numbers of earthquakes of smaller magnitude occur very regularly due to the meeting of major tectonic plates in the region. Based on the records of the USGS , Indonesia has had more than 150 earthquakes with magnitude > 7 in the period 1901–2019.
Tectonics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of geology focusing on tectonics. It is published by the American Geophysical Union in collaboration with the European Geosciences Union . The journal is edited by John Geissman ( University of Texas at Dallas ), Laurent Jolivet ( Institut des Sciences de la Terre de Paris ), Nathan Niemi ...
