ABSTRACT
Sorong region, Sorong City, West Papua province is the research area of this
paper. This region bordered by coordinate 1311430 - 1311730 East Longitude
and 05005 - 05250 South Latitude. The research area lied at birds
head
region.
This research area has complex geology setting due to impact process of two
main active plate that move simultaneously, they are Australia Continental Plate that
relatively move nortward and Pacific Ocean Plate that relatively move south-
westward. The research area included into Kemum Block, Sorong Fault system and
Tamrau Block based on geology province at Sorong region.
Granite Rock Unit had been found in the southern of area on Kemun Block
which is part of Australian micro-continent. Andesite Rock Unit had been found
in the Northern of area on Tamrau Block which is part of Pasific Plate.
Contact between these units were formed because Sorong Fault Zone System in the
Early Pliocene Sorong Fault Zone System formed Complex Rock Unit, E W Rafidin
Fault (sinistral-up) in the northern of the study area and E W Klabala Fault
(sinistral-up) in the northern of the study area. This Complex Rock Unit is consisted
of serpentinite, slate, sandstone, claystone, granite, and andesite. Some of these
fragments had been form in differ area and after that brought by the activity of the
Sorong Fault. Sandstone Rock Unit was formed in the southern of area in the Early
Pliocene Late Pliocene from weathering material of Granite Rock Unit and
Complex Rock Unit in the land environment. Papua tectonic is still active until now
and formed N S Remu Fault (dextral-up) which cut Granite Rock Unit, Andesite
Rock Unit, Complex Rock Unit, Sandstone Rock Unit, Rafidin Fault, and Klabala
fault. Coastal, Swamp and Alluvial Deposit Unit is formed because erosion and
sedimentation processes in recent time.
