E G nneomorphology Sumatra Sumatra Island is located in the western part of the archipelago cluster.

In the north bordering the Bay of Bengal, on the east by the Strait of Malacca, on the south by the Straits of Sunda, and on the west by the Indian Ocean. In the east of the island, found many swamps drained by large rivers, among others; Asahan (North Sumatra), Kampar, Siak and Indragiri River (Riau), Batang Hari (West Sumatra, Jambi), Ketahun (Bengkulu), Musi , Ogan, Lematang, Komering (South Sumatra), and Way Sekampung (Lampung). In the western part of the island, lies the Barisan Mountains that stretches from north to south. Only a few areas of the island is suitable for rice farming. Along the line of the hill there are volcanoes that are still active, as Merapi (West Sumatra), Bukit Kaba (Bengkulu), and Kerinci (Jambi). Sumatra Island also has many large lakes, including the Sea Fresh (Aceh), Lake Toba (North Sumatra), Lake Batur, Maninjau Lake, Lake Above and Below Lake (West Sumatra), and Lake Ranau (Lampung and South Sumatra). The island Sumatra 435 000 km extending from the West - Sea to the southeast with a length up to 1650 km from Tanjung UleLhee China (Djodjo et al, 1985, 41) the width of the island at the northern range 100-200 km in the south to 350 Km. Island of Sumatra, by area is the sixth largest island in the world. Bukit Barisan mountains with several peaks exceeding 3,000 m above sea level, is a line of active volcanoes, runs along the west side of the island from the north end to the south, and thus make plain in the west side of the island is relatively narrow with steep beaches and in the direction Indian Ocean and the plains on the east side of the island wide and ramps with ramps and shallow beaches towards the Malacca Strait, Bangka Strait and the South China Sea. (Http://www.geografi.web.id/2009/08/geomorfologi-sumatera.html) General description of physiographic conditions rather modest island of Sumatra. Fisiografinya circuit formed by the Barisan Mountains along the western side, which separates the west coast and east coast. The slope leading to the Indonesian Ocean and generally steep. This resulted in the coastal strip west mostly mountainous except two threshold lowlands in North Sumatra (Melaboh and Singkel / Singkil) wide 20 km. The east side of the coast of Sumatra is composed of a very broad tertiary layers and is hilly and the form of low alluvial soil. Face Shape Earth Sumatra Surface shape Sumatra consists of 3 major parts: (1). Barian hill, (2) in the eastern lowlands, (3) Path hills (foot eastern mountain chain). Bukit Barisan mountain range are the mountains that extends from the north end (Aceh) to the southern end (Lampung) Sumatra island, has a length of approximately 1650 km. This mountain range has the highest peak of Mount Kerinci located in Jambi, altitude 3805 meters above sea level. Bukit Barisan mountain range is located near the confluence between the Eurasian and Australian tectonic plates. Bukit Barisan Mountains Bukit Barisan Mountains along the highway-Payakumbuh Bukittinggi. Aceh Province, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Jambi, Bengkulu, South Sumatra, Lampung. The highest point is Mount Kerinci-elevation of 3805 m (12 484 ft) Length 1025 mi (1650 km), north-south. Path hills (foothills mountain chain) is a former basin is buried by thick sediment, which is then lifted by endogenous power. The line is a lot of oil there like: Komering River, between the river and the river

When Besitang-Krueng Meureudu. 1. The topography of the island of Sumatra Broadly Dublin Mountains topography can be divided into three parts menjalur of the Northwest Southeast as follows: a) the West, this area in the form of elongated along the coastal plains are interrupted by erratic igir-igir touching shore. Coastal plain has a width that is not the same in different places. Wide coastal plain is only found in a few places including in Meolaboh and Singkil in North Sumatra. b) Middle part, this part is a volcanic line (Inner Arc) who occupied the central part of Sumatra Island with a position slightly to the West. The line is known primarily to Bukit Barisan designation. Mountain chain has a width that is not the same. Bukit Barisan (Zone Barisan) experienced geological events over and over again. Zone sequence can be broken down into three South Front Zone, Central Zone and Zone Front Front North (Van Bemmelen, 1949, 678). 1. Barisan Zone South Sumatra This zone is divided into three units sesaran blocks are: Block Bengkulu (The Bengkulu Block) In the Western part of the slope forming monoklinal 5-10 to the direction of the Indian Ocean (Indian Ocean) and the Northeast edge of the field in the form of fracture. Northeast Boundary Block Bengkulu is Semangko Graben, Southern Tip Semangko Semangko Gulf Graben form in the Sunda Strait. The length Graben Semangko which stretches from Lake Ranau - City Attorney in the Gulf Semangko is 45 Km and 10 Km wide. Block Semangko (The Semangko Block) Located between Zone Semangko Sesaran Lampung (Lampung Fault). Southern part of the block Semangko be divided into the landscape like a mountain Semangko, Depression Ulehbeluh and Walima, Horst Ratai and Depression Telukbetung. While the North Block Semangko (Central Block) Dome shaped (diameter + 40 Km). Semangko Fault is the geological formation that stretches from northern Sumatra to the south, starting from Aceh to Lampung Bay Watermelon. Fault is formed Barisan Mountains, a series of plateau in the west side of the island. Fault Semangko relatively young age and most easily visible in the canyon Sianok and Anai Valley near the town of Bukittinggi.

Fault is a fracture shear, such as the San Andreas fault in California. It extends along the island of Sumatra, from the tip of Aceh to the Sunda Strait, with the vertical and lateral movement Meng-right (dextral strike-slip). This fault causes earthquakes on land because of the energy released in the fault / fracture Semangko is activated again when the fault (fault reactivation events) with the shifting layers of rock around the fault zone. Fault movement which is one of the world's most active fault is believed to be caused by the insistence of India-Australia plate into the Eurasian plate. The western part of the fault is moving north and the east move south. If time is not a large earthquake occurs, it means going on the fracture energy collection. Along the Sumatra Fault, there are also thousands of smaller fragments which can also result in earthquake-prone areas. Like the original quake sea, inland earthquakes in Sumatra usually quite large and cause significant damage.

Sianok canyon, formed due to faulting Semangko. Block Sekampung (The Sekampung Block) Block Sekampung a Northeast wing of the Bukit Barisan in South Sumatra. This block is Block Insert Bengkulu. When viewed as a whole the Southern Front Zone (in Lampung) shows a large geantiklin where Bengkulu Block as Southwest wing, width of 30 Km later Sekampung Block as the Northeast wing, width of 35 km and peak geantiklinnya is the central block (Block Semangko) with a width of 75 Km.
