Bandung and Garut basin are two depression zones which are pyroclastic deposit that
almost all over around the basin and the younger lava deposit that separate those two basins. The
pyroclastic deposit associated with high Bouguer anomaly and the younger lava associated with
low Bouguer anomaly.
The preliminary data showed two possible stages of evolution of the study area. First
stage was the one related to the older pyroclastic spreading, and the second stage was the one
related to the basin structure and younger volcanic activity.
Magnetotelluric were measured along the two lines across Bandung-Garut basin that
crossed the two closures of low Bouguer gravity anomaly. The low resistivity areas that appear
near the surface were associated with loose sediment. The intermediate resistivity rocks
associated with sediment deposit and felsic igneous rock. And high resistivity rocks associated
with hard sediment deposit or igneous rock. The highest resistivity layer associated with older
igneous rock or basement.
The models indicate the existence of at least two stages of tectonic process in this area.
First, there was an extension regime that produced the formation of horst and graben. At second
stage, the extension force ceased that made it possible for the formation of horizontal layering,
which covered the area that continuous until most recently although there is upset that indicates a
normal fault. There is possibility that the extension force reappeared recently and formed the
normal fault.
The subsurface models acquired could not explain further in term of the wide area of
Bandung zone because two lines surveys are too little to cover the tectonic study of the area.
