Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i1.132Rajabasa Volcano (± 1281 m) and Lampung Tuff, located in the South Lampung Regency, is the main point in order to understand the evolution of Quaternary volcanism in the area. A remote sensing analysis and field geologic work are the methods of the study. The volcanism began with the construction period of the Pre-Rajabasa composite cone which was followed by the destruction period of the cone to form the Pre-Rajabasa Caldera having ca. 25 km in diameter. The present Rajabasa Volcano, along with cones of flank eruptions and monogenesis, has appeared in the Pre-Rajabasa Caldera depression. Those volcanic activities are considered as the second construction period. During the first and the second construction periods, basaltic to andesitic lava flows, pyroclastic breccias, and tuffs were erupted. The Rajabasa eruption points moved in WNW - ESE direction, which were possibly controlled by a subsurface weak zone. The Pre-Rajabasa Caldera erupted voluminous Lampung Tuffs having rhyolite in composition, and they are considered as a combination of pyroclastic falls, flows, and surges, or pyroclastic density currents.

Abstract

Along the Merak - Bakauheni route, Sunda Strait, there are some island composing by Tertiary volcanic rocks. Relating to the plan of construction of Sunda Strait Bridge, several Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic islands at Merak – Bakauheni ferry route are examined as paleovolcanoes in order to evaluate their potential hazards. Methods that used in this study are remote sensing analyses of satellite image and topographic maps, and field geologic investigation. As results, three paleovolcanoes are recognized, namely Harimaubalak, Kandangbalak and Sangiang. To understand the history of their volcanic activities radiometric analyses are required. Those three paleovolcanoes are located in a line having NW – SE direction, considered as a weak zone because the pattern similarity with the active Sumatran fault system. To anticipate the possibilities of opening new vents or reactivated eruptions from the weak zone it is suggested to make further studies on seismicity, tectonic analyses, and the present of sub surface hot sources.Key words : bakauheni, harimaubalak, paleovolcano, sangiang, sunda strait, lampung
