Topology & Geology; |
Stratigrafi of Egon Mountain and its surroundings based on lithology contact, stone cutting principle and source of each product. From old to young can be separated into three main volcanic groups (see Geological Map in the pouch): 1. Pre-Egon precipitate 2. The Old Egon Volcanic Deposition 3. Sediment of Young Egon Volcano The evolving geological structure is a normal north-southeast trending faults that form a cesarean fault and are characterized by hot springs in Bridit Village on the fault line.
