Abstract

Field study and SPOT image analyses on the Tondano caldera region permit us to show a distributed active sinistral strike-slip fault zone which trends ENE- WSW This faulting accommodates the N-S movement of the Celebes Sea plate and represents a transfer fault zone between the Celebes sea subduetion end and the Moluccas sea subduetion zone. Furthermore, this study permits us to provide evidence for a tectonic control of the Tondano caldera collapse and evolution.
