Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Indonesia.
A vast archipelago across the equator
Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagic countries, with thousands of islands between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and western New Guinea are among its major land areas. The sea both separates and connects its communities.
[1]Volcanic arcs and earthquakes
Many islands lie where tectonic plates meet, creating frequent earthquakes and numerous active volcanoes. Eruptions bring danger, yet volcanic soils support farming and underground heat provides energy. On densely populated Java, towns and fields often lie close to volcanic slopes.
[1]Tropical forests and seasonal rain
Near the equator, Indonesia is warm year-round and humid regions support tropical rainforest. Rainfall still varies with island location and mountain slopes, and some areas have a marked dry season. Forests, reefs and mangroves make land and sea closely connected.
