Identifikasi sebaran dan Jenis Sesar Berdasarkan Analisis Data Anomali Gravitasi Topex Provinsi Maluku Utara Lembar Pulau Halmahera Utara

− North Maluku, especially Halmahera Island is part of the framework of Indonesia's complex tectonic system and has a high tectonic activity. This area has the meeting zone of the Eurasia plate, the Pacific plate, the Indo-Australian plate and other small plates such as the Philippine plate. As a result of geodynamics, the research area with high seismic activity is due to many geological structures such as anticlines, synclines, upward faults, horizontal faults and normal faults due to plate activity in this area. One of the methods t hat can be used to identify the faults and their types is the gravity method. this study was using the gravitational observation data of the Topex satellite with an area of 3,891.62 km 2 in the form of Free Air Anomaly (FAA), which is then corrected by bouguers and field correction yields a complete Bouguer Anomaly (ABL). Regional and residual anomalies show the good correlation with the geological map of the study area in delineating the distribution of faults with a range of positive anomalies ± 187 mGal and negative anomalies ± -14.8 mGal. Second Vertical Derivatif (SVD) anomaly analysis shows that the distribution of faults in the study area is a type of normal fault.
