DEPRESSION
Depression is an area that has decreased ( degeneration ) so that its surface is
lower than at sea level. Elongated form of depression called slenk , while the rounded
-called basin. For example, Central Java Depression and Watermelon Valley.

Basin is the shape of the lower face of the earth from the surface of the earth
around him. Basin can also occur on a hilltop or mountain wide caldera that formed a
kind as found in Mount Bromo. Even in some places, basin or depression can have a
height below sea level. On a topographic map, with contour lines drawn basin
shrinking inward, so contrary to the depiction of the image of a hill.

Zone bandung is a mountainous area of fire as well as a zone of depression.

When compared with the flank zone Bogor zone to the north and south of the
mountains to the south that each - each undergo tertiary folding process at the time.
This zone is divided into 4 :

1. Depression Ciancur
Depression Ciancur located at an altitude of 70 - 459 meters to the
west of the towering mountain bark (2211 meters) which is the
youngest volcano. There is also a covered area of volcanic material
from Mount Gede (2958 meters) and Mount Payrango (3019 meters),
for example, the town of Sukabumi.
2. Depression Bandung
In Bandung province is a fertile alluvial plains, reaching 25 meters in
width with a height of 650 - 675 meters. Citarum river and drained by
two rows of the volcano 's flank depression is Burangrang mountain
(2064 meters), Mount Tangkuban Perahu (2076 meters) and Mount
Superior mountain (2203 meters) which is the limit of Bogor zone
while the southern zone bounded by mountain Malabor (23231
meters) , Patuha mountain (2434 meters) and Kencana mountain (2182
meters).

3. Depression Garut
Depression Garut has a width of approximately 50 km with a height of
717 meters. An area surrounded volcano: Kerosak mountain (1630
meters) and Mount Cikuray (2821 meters) is located in the south.
Located on the east side of the mountain Telaga Bodas (2201 meters)
and Mount Galunggung (2108 meters).
EAST JAVA
Southern zone is a continuation of the southern zones in West Java and
Central Java while in the north which is a new element, either Physiographic and
structure. Muria in northern rocky and volcanic leusit Lasem that andisitis not reflect
all the northern series vulkom Java. Moriah was once an island.
To the south there are a number of more or less mountainous eastern direction,
west of the mountains each punctuated by alluvial plains. antiklimak zenith average
width of 50 km and most reach the north coast and from there it was separated by a
narrow position with sand dunes.
The zenith hills separated by a valley with mountains synklinal called
rontablatung zone and longitudinal location of Semarang - Surabaya Wonokromo.
Mountains drum or drums is an advanced anti klonorium of Serayu north in Central
Java. To the south of Semarang mountains width 40 km further to the east and
narrowing. Height of approximately 500 m. The mountains near Ngawi transversely
cut off by the river solo that splits into western and eastern parts.
Between the mountains and mountains of southern Java drums pass zone
fisiografisnya state of depression and tektonisnya same as this zone that extends
Bandung. Depression partially filled and covered by a series of young volcanoes and
can be subdivided into 3 parallel lines, ie:
1. Sub- zone ngawi
Depression is the limit synklinal mountainous southern side drums and
is considered as advanced Serayu zone in Central Java. Structurally

ngawi zone extends eastward to the northern coast of East Java

peninsula.
2. Zone solo
Formed by a series of huge volcanic crater - volcanic with
mountainous plains that begin with cleft Sundoro and Central Java to
the east.
3. Sub- zone blitar

Located in the south zone solo. Sub zone Blitar on the selatanya
bounded by mountains to the south and East Java. As well as the
mountains of West Java South East Java in general is lifted and tilted
blocks to the south (the Indian Ocean). Limit escarpment north it is
bordered by an intricate.
Mountains south between the rivers of East Java that is opaque and pacitan
largely composed of hard limestone of the type called Gunung Sewu or the Thousand
Mountains . The northern part of the mountain is composed of old volcanic sediments
and also indicate the presence of the rest of the ( former ) quaternary peneplain .
While the southern part eliff - eliff limited by the rugged abrasion along the Indian
Ocean .

EXAMPLE FOR LIFE DUE geomorphology

In this basin filled with

a variety of loose rock
material
primarily

(sediments),
from

mainland East Java and

Madura. Based on a
map of the distribution of
seabed sediments in the
basin, shows that clay
and

silt

sediments

occupy most of this sea, and sandy silt to silt generally occupy a small portion and
only in coastal areas. Unless silt and sandy silt in the waters that form Gresik to
Surabaya distribution patterns that indicate the source of sediment derived from
Gresik - Madura Strait and the Java Sea.
The existence of natural phenomena in Sidoarjo Mud LAPINDO, very detrimental to
existing residents in another. Meanwhile submerging houses also cause unpleasant
odors that cause air pollution. Communities around the mud was displaced
LAPINDO any activity becomes terhambat lumpur Porong Sidoarjo become Disaster
- Prone Regions, and there is no other choice The Final Placement (TPA) to the sea
mud was the Madura Strait.
Madura Strait ocean basins south administratively located in the province of
East Java basin and geographically is located at position 114010'25 " BT - 114013'58
"BT, 801'8" LS - 803'28" LS (Figure 1). In the west basin is bordered by the mainland
East Java (Surabaya, Sidoarjo Regency, Pasuruan) bounded by the shoreline to the
north of Surabaya, Sidoarjo to the coast in the southern coastal region Pasuruan. On

the shores of this region leads Surabaya, Porong, and the Brantas River. In the south,
the basin is bordered also with mainland East Java (Probolinggo), the region bounded
by the shoreline on the west Pasuruan, Probolinggo coast, to coast Besuki in the east,
where the coastal region is characterized by the presence of mountain heights
Argopuro in District Besuki. In the eastern basin is bordered by the Bali Sea that is
characterized by changes in the depth that contrasts ranging from - 150 m . The
northern boundary of this basin is the area of the south coast of the island of Madura
which is included in the District Sampang and Pamekasan
