geographical Indonesia


Indonesia lies between 6 º N - 11 º 95 º LS and BT - 141 º E, between the Pacific Ocean and Ocean Hindi, between Asia and Australia, and at the meeting of two sets of mountains, namely circum-Pacific and circum Mediterranean.

Judging from the latitude, Indonesia lies between 6 º N (North latitude) and 11 º LS (south latitude). The location of such latitude is an indication that:

     * Border northern portion of Indonesia was 6 º N and 11 º is the most southern latitude. (The island is the northernmost We and the most southern island of Roti is).
     * Distance latitude is 17 º.
     * Partly large areas of Indonesia is located in the southern hemisphere.
     * Indonesia's territory traversed by the equator.

Judging from the location of longitude, area of ​​Indonesia is located between 95 º and 141 º BT BT. It bererti:

     * Limit the westernmost region of Indonesia is 95 º E and 141 º is the most eastern longitude.
     * Distance longitude is 46 º (about 5000 km, or about 1/8 the circumference of the earth). Such difference in longitude cause of the time difference.
     * All parts of Indonesia located east hemisphere (calculated from 0 º meridian).

The location of such astronomical shows that Indonesia is located in a tropical climate. Tropical climatic zones are approximately between 23.5 º N or ruler Cancer, and 23.5 º LS or ruler so. This resulted in the temperature in Indonesia is quite high (between 26 º C - 28 º C), the rainfall is quite a lot (between 700mm - 7000mm per year), terdapata huja zenital (rain rose equator), the weathering of rocks fast enough and there are many different types of Haiwan and plant species.

Location of astronomy led to a difference of about 3 hours (more precisely 46 x 4 Minit Minit = 184) between the far east with the western part of Indonesia.

Since January 1, 1988 in Indonesia enacted a new area pembahagian, replacing pembahagian time with effect from January 1, 1964. With the enactment of the new time zone pembahagian, shift time in some places.

     * Regional West Indonesia Time (WIB). Courant West Indonesia Time by base meridian 105 º East, covering the entire province on Sumatra island, the whole province on the island of Java, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan (have a time difference of 7 hours earlier than Greenwich time).

     * Region Central Indonesia Time (PST). Based on the base of the 120 º meridian east, covering East Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), and the entire province of Sulawesi (have a time difference of 8 hours earlier than Greenwich).

     * Region East Indonesia Time (CDT). Eastern Indonesia Time Courant by base meridian 135 º East, covering the entire province of Irian Jaya (Papua), Maluku and North Maluku (have a time difference of 9 hours earlier than Greenwich time).
