 CONCLUSIONS
1. Bali-Nusa Tenggara Area located on convergence of two
mega plates, Hindia-Australia and Eurasia plates. This area
is very labile and potential to overcome geologic hazards,
marked by 21 active volcanoes & earthquake.
2. Geologic hazards are unavoidable natural symptoms and
usually related with threat to human lives, loss of
properties, and environment decay. To anticipate all of
impacts, geologists who are joined in Indonesian
Association of Geologists of Nusa Tenggara have been
done various efforts to deal such as mitigation, alertness,
investigation, socialization and training.
3. Plate tectonic process is the causal factor of volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, and other geologic hazards.
Understanding of these process support us on efforts to
dealing with these disasters.
