A simplified map of the geological structures of Indonesia. The tectonics of Indonesia are very complex, as it is a meeting point of several tectonic plates.Indonesia is located between two continental plates: the Sahul Shelf and the Sunda Plate; and between two oceanic plates: the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.
Map showing the location of volcanoes and geological fault lines of Sumatra. The geography of Sumatra is dominated by a mountain range called Bukit Barisan (lit: "a row of hills"). The mountain range spans nearly 1,700 km (1,100 mi) from the north to the south of the island, and it was formed by movement of the Australian tectonic plate. [9]
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 ...
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.
Tectonic - Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasia Plate Major Volcanoes - Merapi , Krakatoa , Mount Sinabung , Semeru The Sunda Arc is a volcanic arc that produced the volcanoes that form the topographic spine of the islands of Sumatra , Nusa Tenggara , Java , the Sunda Strait , and the Lesser Sunda Islands .
This is a list of some of the regions of Indonesia.Many regions are defined in law or regulations by the central government. At different times of Indonesia's history, the nation has been designated as having regions that do not necessarily correlate to the current administrative or physical geography of the territory of the nation.
The location of Indonesia An enlargeable map of the Republic of Indonesia (excluding North Kalimantan, Riau Islands, West Papua, and West Sulawesi). The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Indonesia:
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.
