For those willing to make the effort, be sure to leave on day break and take waterproof gear for your belongings. This is a gorgeous, 7' wide, polished section of red, Indonesian plume agate/jasper. The exposed island is often wind affected but with 2 waves on offer, winds from the East to North West can be favourable. Despite these facts, our knowledge of subduction zone geometry - which likely plays a key role in determining the spatial. The shallow megathrust interface of subduction zones host our largest earthquakes, and are the only faults capable of M9+ ruptures. of the folded slab is relatively small when compared with the model of Pesicek et al. The journey across to Pulau Pisang can be taken by chartering a local fishing boat from either Krui (45 min trip) or from Tembakak (15 min trip). Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. A similar slab model with folding was proposed by Hall and Spakman (2015), but the curvature. 2B), a high-velocity slab is inferred beneath the Java and Banda arcs (note the broadening in map view of the slab beneath the Banda arc) but not beneath Sumatra. The right hand barrel (imagine a reverse of one palm point) found on the South East side, is a longer wave - and although much more manageable, delivers a hefty barrel and should only be surfed by intermediate to advanced surfers. The earthquake that resulted from slip along about 1600 km of the SumatraAndaman subduction system on 26 December 2004 has focused attention on the tsunami danger posed by such massive submarine events, , . slab parallels the present-day Sunda arc and the Molucca collision zone. The short, ferocious, thick lipped left on the West side is more suited for body boarders or advanced surfers. Banana Island is home to two quality waves delivering rarely ridden quality waves on a fairly regular basis.
