Baturagung Escarpment is an essential tectonic element of Java Island because it represents a transition from the Southern Mountain Block to the Kendeng Basin. This study has succeeded in producing a three-dimensional model of the Baturagung Escarpment subsurface using gravity anomaly data. The data are distributed along a regional scale transect, whose resolving capability has been tested using a checkerboard test. Our proposed geophysical model can fit the observed data very well, with a 0.77% RMS error. This model exhibits a structural depression bounded by high basement blocks below the Baturagung Escarpment, one of the basement block outcrops at Jiwo Hills. The maximum width of the depression is 10 km, with a depth exceeding 3 km in some places. The depression might be formed because of an extensional tectonic regime that prevailed during the Palaeogene, followed by volcanic arc loads' emplacement up to the early Miocene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
