ABSTRACT
semicircular cliff with 400 meters height. The origin process of this cliff is still
unknown. This study aims to examine the possibility of meteorite impact as the
initial trigger of the amphitheater forming. The research uses several methods to
structure, Planar Deformation Features (PDF) quartz and shattercone rock, all of
The study also makes a model that explains the formation process of an
at Pliocene there was a meteorite collision created 13 km wide crater that triggered
a mega slump and forming an amphitheater. The research results are evidence to
