The Baribis Fault (Indonesian: Sesar Baribis) is a geological feature located in the northern part of Java. [1] This fault, estimated to be 100 kilometers (62 miles) long, stretches from Purwakarta to Lebak Regency [2] and is a threat to the Jakarta metropolitan area because the fault is partially located within the metropolitan area itself.
The Flores back-arc thrust fault is a major system of west–east trending thrust faults that extend eastwards from west of Lombok just south of where Sunda Shelf ends at Bali Sea, towards the islands of Sumbawa, Flores, and Alor, with a total length of at least 800 km., [1] entering the Weber Basin and Aru Basin adjacent Sahul Shelf of the Australian plate.
Childbirth, also known as labour, parturition and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy where one or more babies exits the internal environment of the mother via vaginal delivery or caesarean section. [7]
The study of diagenesis in rocks is used to understand the geologic history they have undergone and the nature and type of fluids that have circulated through them. From a commercial standpoint, such studies aid in assessing the likelihood of finding various economically viable mineral and hydrocarbon deposits.
The Lembang Fault (Indonesian: Sesar Lembang) is an active fault located 10 km north of the city of Bandung on the Indonesian island of Java.This sinistral slip fault is estimated to measure 29 km in length. [1]
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.
The fault forms part of the boundary between two of the major crustal blocks that form the island, the North Sula Block and the Makassar Block.The current slip rate along the Palu-Koro Fault is estimated to be in the range 30 to 40 millimetres (1.2 to 1.6 in) per year, compared to a long term slip rate of 40 to 50 millimetres (1.6 to 2.0 in) per year over the last 5 million years.
Mineral evolution is a recent hypothesis that provides historical context to mineralogy. It postulates that mineralogy on planets and moons becomes increasingly complex as a result of changes in the physical, chemical and biological environment.
