| Summary: | Sulawesi Island is situated on the three major plates, namely the Indo-Australian plate together with Continent Australia (Australian Craton) plate moves towards the North - Northeast and crust Pacific - Philippines moves towards the West - Northwest, causing the collision with the Eurasian plate (Sunda Land) which more passive or stable. The Bone basin is located between South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi arms. This basin is formed by several fault system, such as, Walanae, Palukoro, West and East Bone faults and others. Several active faults are likely to be extended each other into the openings structure and characterized by the accumulation of young sediment in the Bone basin. |
