Case Study: Bali

Indroduction:

Bali is one among thousands of islands that make up the republic of Indonesia. In the midst of
the most populous Islamic country in the world, this small island has remained predominantly
Hindu. A thousand years ago many people practiced Hinduism across Southeast Asia.Today
Bali is the only place in the entire region where these once-widespread traditions remain strong.

Location:

Bali is an island of Indonesia and is situated 8 degrees from the equator, in the Java Sea. Bali's
location is 4,555 km (2,830 miles) from Australia and is situated between Indonesia's islands of
Lombok and Java. Bali is a province of Indonesia and is approximately 153km wide and 112km
high with a total land area of approximately 5,780 square km (2,231 square miles). Denpasar is
Bali's largest and capital city and is located in the south of Bali. Bali is located to the north of
Australia, the south of Malaysia, the south east of Singapore and the south west of Indonesia.

Formation:

The island of Bali, like most of the islands of the Indonesian archipelago, is the result of
the tectonic subduction of the Indo-Australian plate under the Eurasian plate. The tertiary ocean
floor, made of ancient marine deposits including accumulation of coral reefs, was lifted above
the sea level by the subduction. Layers of Tertiary limestone lifted from the ocean floor are still
visible in areas such as the Bukit peninsula with the huge limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, or in the
northwest of the island at Prapat Agung.

The Tertiary limestone cliffs of Uluwatu were lifted from the sea floor
by subduction.
Features:

The Indonesian island of Bali is a feast for the body, mind and spirit. Though relatively small,
the island offers the natural beauty of oceans, volcanic mountains and verdant rain forests
and rice paddies, as well as the many manifestations of Balinese culture, both ancient and
modern.
