Sumba
Island has a unique position with respect to the Sunda-Banda
arc as it represents an isolated sliver of probable
continental crust to the south of active volcanic
islands (Sumbawa, Flores ) within the forearc basin
(Fig.1).
It
is situated to the north of passage from the Java Trench (subduction
front) to the Timor Through (collision front). It does not show still
the effects of strong compression in contrast to islands of the outer
arc system (Savu, Roti, Timor), while the magmatic units make up a
substantial part of the Late Cretaceous to Paleogene stratigraphy.
