  2. Geology of Indonesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Indonesia

    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.

  3. Molucca Sea Collision Zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molucca_Sea_Collision_Zone

    The tectonic relationship of the Sangihe plate, Halmahera plate, and the Molucca Sea plate, plus the volcanic Halmahera Arc and the Sangihe Arc is complex. Their interrelationship constitutes the Molucca Sea Collision Zone. The north of this zone interlinks with the Philippine Mobile Belt.

  4. List of volcanoes in Indonesia - Wikipedia

    Mahameru (Semeru) above Mount Bromo, East Java. East Indonesia Islands from ISS.Seven active volcanoes are visible: 5 in East Java, Agung in Bali and Rinjani in Lombok.. The geography of Indonesia is dominated by volcanoes that are formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate.

  5. List of faults in Indonesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_faults_in_Indonesia

    Indonesia is a country located close to tectonic plate boundaries which causes it to have many active faults and is prone to earthquakes, [1]

  6. Great Sumatran fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Sumatran_fault

    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.

  7. Halmahera plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halmahera_Plate

    The tectonic setting of the Molucca Sea region is unique. It is the only global example of an active arc-arc collision consuming an oceanic basin via subduction in two directions. The Molucca Sea plate has been subsumed by tectonic microplates, the Halmahera plate and the Sangihe plate .

  8. Kutai Basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutai_basin

    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. Its geologic evolution begins in the mid Eocene and involves phases of extension and rifting , thermal sag, and isostatic subsidence.

  9. Banda Arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banda_Arc

    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.
