Waves of Destruction in the East Indies: the Wichmann Catalogue of Earthquakes and Tsunami in the Indonesian Region from 1538 to 1877

The largest and best documented are the events of 1770 and 1859 in the Molucca Sea region, of 1629, 1774 and 1852 in the Banda Sea region, the 1820 event in Makassar, the 1857 event in Dili, Timor, the 1815 event in Bali and Lom- bok, the events of 1699, 1771, 1780, 1815, 1848 and 1852 in Java, and the events of 1797, 1818, 1833 and 1861 in Sumatra. Most of these events caused damage over a broad region, and are asso- ciated with years of temporal and spatial clustering of earthquakes. The earthquakes left many cit- ies in ‘rubble heaps’. Some events spawned tsunamis with run-up heights .15 m that swept many coastal villages away. 2004 marked the recurrence of some of these events in western Indonesia. However, there has not been a major shallow earthquake (M ≥ 8) in Java and eastern Indonesia for the past 160 years. -

Email: P.Quil [email protected] Sub-Antarctic islands have a diversity of origins in detail but most are volcanic and very young suggesting that they are short-lived and that the distribution would have been very differenta few million years ago. 'They contrast with the common tourist brochure concept of oceanic islands. As the Antarctic Plate is virtually static, the islands seldom show signs of association with long-lived linear island chains and most thus stand alone. Longer-lived islands are either on submarine plateaux or are continental remnants of the dispersion of Gondwana. The islands are classified in relation to raised sea-floor, transform fault, triple junction, subduction zone, submarine plateau, submerged continent or continental. Many are difficult of access and poorly known geologically. Their geological history controls their many other roles such as sites as observatories, or for study of colonisation, evolution and speciation rates.

Balasubramanian University of Mysore 19-11-2011 Introduction Earth’s environmental segments include Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Lithosphere is the basic solid sphere of the planet earth. It is the sphere of hard rock masses. The land we live in is on this lithosphere only. All other spheres are attached to this lithosphere due to earth’s gravity. Lithosphere is a massive and hard solid substratum holding the semisolid, liquid, biotic and gaseous molecules and masses surrounding it. All geomorphic processes happen on this sphere. It is the sphere where all natural resources are existing. It links the cyclic processes of atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Lithosphere also acts as the basic route for all biogeochemical activities. For all geographic studies, a basic understanding of the lithosphere is needed. In this lesson, the following aspects are included: 1. The Earth’s Interior. 2.
