A long chain of mountains
and volcanic belt Stretches from the back bone of the islands of Sumatra,
Java. Bali and others to the east. Of the 300 volcanoes. 128 are active,
more than half of which have erupted. The most famous is Krakatau
and island volcano located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.
Its eruption in 1883 threw up ashes into the air which were believed
to have circled the earth for two years.
The volcano craters
are generally located in sparsely populated areas and do not pose
a direct threat to the population. Instead the lava and volcanic ashes
have been partly responsible for the fertility of the soil. In spite
of the volcanoes, there are relatively few earthquakes and Indonesia
lies outside the typhoon belt.
Because of its tropical climate and
adequate rainfall, the vegetation is lush and
green. Extenxive rain forests exist in Sumatra. Kalimantan and Irian
Jaya while Nusa Tenggara is mostly shrubland and savannah because
of the lower rainfall.
Indonesia has several high mountains,
the highest peak being Mt. Jayawijaya in Irian Jaya formerly known
as the Cartenz Top. It is clad in eternal snow and reaches a height
of 5,030 metres or 16,000 feet
