Matano Fault
The Matano fault is a major active WNW-ESE trending left lateral strike-slip fault on the island of Sulawesi. It extends for about 190 km from near the southern end of the Palu-Koro Fault in the west, to Kolono Bay on the east coast of the island. Geometry The fault zone is subdivided into six main segments. From west to east, these are the Kuleana, Pewusai, Matano, Pamsoa, Ballawi and Geresa segments. Lake Matano is formed as a pull-apart basin in a releasing stepover between the Pamsoa and Matano segments of the fault zone. The fault zone extends offshore to the east and may link to the Tolo Thrust and/or the South Sula Fault. Regional setting Together with the Palu-Koro Fault, this fault zone forms part of the boundary between two of the major crustal blocks that form the island, the North Sula Block to the north and east and the Makassar Block to the south and west. The current slip rate along the Matano Fault is estimated to be in the range per year. Seismicity No e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Palu-Koro Fault
The Palu-Koro Fault or Palu-Koro Fault System is a major active NNW-SSE trending left-lateral strike-slip fault zone on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It caused the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami. Geometry It extends from near Dondowa, North Luwu Regency, in the south, where it links to the WNW-ESE trending Matano Fault. It continues northwards, heading offshore through the Gulf of Palu and passing to the west of the Minahassa Peninsula, before eventually linking with the North Sulawesi Subduction Zone. Although it is a strike slip fault, there are locally normal and thrust features and segments. Near Palu it forms the western side of the Palu Basin, a small pull-apart basin developed along the fault system. Regional setting 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 per year, c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flora and fauna The mountains are surrounded at lower elevations by heavily disturbed lowland rain forest and lands converted to agriculture. The higher elevations are home to submontane and montane forests, which are separated from the main mass of Borneo's montane r ...

Tarakan Fault
Tarakan is an island and co-extensively the sole city within the Indonesian province of North Kalimantan. The island city is the largest urban area in North Kalimantan population-wise and is located in northern Borneo, midway along the coast of the province. The city boundaries are co-extensive with the island (including a couple of small islands off the coast of the Tarakan Barat District). Once a major oil-producing region during the colonial period, Tarakan had great strategic importance during the Pacific War and was among the first Japanese targets early in the conflict. It is the sole city within the Indonesian province of North Kalimantan (established in 2012). According to Statistics Indonesia, the city had a population of 193,370 at the 2010 CensusBiro Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2011. and 242,786 inhabitants at the 2020 Census;Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2021. the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 255,310 (comprising 132,175 males and 123,135 females).Badan Pusat ...
