Economics and Land Use in Indonesia

Economics and Land Use in Indonesia

Indonesia's economy is centered on agriculture and industry. The main agricultural products of Indonesia are rice, cassava, peanuts, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, copra, poultry, beef, pork and eggs. Indonesia's largest industrial products include petroleum and natural gas, plywood, rubber, textiles and cement. Tourism is also a growing sector of Indonesia's economy.

Geography and Climate of Indonesia

The topography of Indonesia's islands varies but it consists mainly of coastal lowlands. Some of Indonesia's larger islands (Sumatra and Java for example) have large interior mountains. Because the 13,677 islands that make up Indonesia are located on the two continental shelves, many of these mountains are volcanic and there are several crater lakes on the islands. Java for example has 50 active volcanoes.

Because of its location, natural disasters, especially earthquakes, are common in Indonesia. On December 26, 2004 for example, a 9.1 to 9.3 magnitude earthquake struck in the Indian Ocean which triggered a large tsunami that devastated many Indonesian islands (images).

Indonesia's climate is tropical with hot and humid weather in lower elevations. In the highlands of Indonesia's islands, temperatures are more moderate. Indonesia also has a wet season that lasts from December to March.

geografi dan iklim Indonesia

topografi Kepulauan Indonesia bervariasi tetapi terdiri terutama dari pesisir dataran rendah. Beberapa dari pulau-pulau besar Indonesia (Sumatera dan Jawa misalnya) memiliki pegunungan interior besar. Karena Kepulauan 13,677 yang membentuk Indonesia terletak pada dua benua rak, banyak di pegunungan ini gunung berapi dan ada beberapa danau kawah di Kepulauan. Jawa misalnya memiliki 50 gunung berapi aktif.

karena lokasinya, bencana alam, terutama gempa bumi, umum di Indonesia. Pada tanggal 26 Desember 2004 misalnya, 9.1-9.3 gempa berkekuatan melanda di Samudera Hindia yang memicu tsunami besar yang menghancurkan banyak pulau Indonesia (gambar).

iklim Indonesia beriklim tropis dengan cuaca panas dan lembab di ketinggian rendah. Di dataran tinggi pulau-pulau di Indonesia, suhu lebih moderat. Indonesia juga memiliki musim hujan yang berlangsung dari Desember hingga Maret.
