Kawasan pesisir timur pulau Natuna Basar memiliki garis pantai yang bervariasi, dari pantai berpasir, pantai berbatu hingga pantai berbakau. Tipe pantai barbakau hanya menempati pada kawasan muara-muara sungai yang sangat dangkal dan berlumpur. Sedangkan pantai berpasir adalah tipe pantai yang mendominasi kawasan pesisir timur pulau Natuna Besar, memanjang dari utara hingga selatan. Pantai berbatu adalah pesisir pantai dengan bongkah granit yang tersebar di kaki Gunung Ranai. Sebaran bongkah granit secara tidak beraturan dan tumpang tindih di kawasan pesisir menyebabkan garis pantai ini menjadi garis pantai yang bernilai wisata tinggi. Bongkah granit ini adalah bagian dari batholit granit Ranai yang merupakan batuan dasar dari kawasan kepulauan Natuna. Kata kunci : pantai, bakau, wisata, bongkah. East coast of Natuna Besar island has variation beach lines, sandy beach, stony beach and mangrove beach. Apparently type of mangrove beach develops in the river mouths, which are muddy and shallow. Sandy beach dominated eastern coast of Natuna Besar island, distributs form the north to the south coast. Stony beach is a coast with boulders of granite in the foot mountain of Ranai. Distribution of Granite boulders are disorientation and unorganized along the east coast, because of these, the coast line has highly tourism value. Granite boulders are part of batholite Ranai granite which is base rock of Natuna islands. Keywords : coast, mangrove, tourism, boulder.

Basaltic Lavas

Hareøen is an island north-west of Disko in western Greenland. It has the form of a plateau, whose highest point - 512 metres - is found near the south coast. Like the neighbouring parts of Nugssuaq and Disko, Hareøen consists chiefly of Tertiary basaltic lavas. The island first attracted attention on account of the presence of interbasaltic, coal-bearing sediments on the north-east coast. These were already examined by Giesecke in 1811 (Giesecke, 1910) and later among others by Steenstrup (1874) and B.E. Koch (1959). A petrographie investigation of the basalts was first undertaken by Holmes (1919), who described loose fragments rich in K2O. Lavas from the south coast, colleeted and analysed by Pedersen (1970), also have a high content of potash. V. Miinther in the years 1948-49 untertook geological mapping of the island, on which the present investigation is supported (Miinther, in press).

The aim of the present investigation is a thorough inventory of the Harpacticoida (Copepoda) of the Portuguese islands Madeira and Porto Santo to provide a basis for comparisons of the harpacticoid faunas of successive elevations of the so called ‘Madeira Hot Spot Track’. Quantitative samples from 10 sampling locations at the coastlines of both islands were analysed (eight from Madeira and two from Porto Santo) and revealed a total of 27 families of Harpacticoida. Nine of the families were determined on species level comprising 43 species of which 31 were new to science. Comparisons of the family and species assemblages at the different Madeiran sampling locations indicate strong habitat heterogeneity as well as differences of the southern from all remaining locations. The sampling locations at the north and east coast are predominately characterized by interstitial taxa, those of the south coast by more robust burrowing or epibenthic taxa. Furthermore the two easternmost sampling locations of Madeira show clear similarity in terms of their harpacticoid assemblages with the sampling locations of Porto Santo. Eighty-eight per cent of the determined species of Porto Santo occur at the coast of Madeira as well (predominately at the easternmost sampling locations) indicating dispersal of Harpacticoida between both islands.

Geological Science

The High Plateau is a rather ill-defined region occupying the south-eastern portion of Brazil. It rises abruptly from the south-east coast but slopes off very gradually to the north and west. In consequence the rivers flowing north and west are of great length and importance in navigation. Those flowing south are useless for navigation though of great importance for water power. An interesting exceptional river is the Parahyba flowing east and parallel to the south-east coast-line curve. The geology of the whole region is essentially granite and gneiss with curiously metamorphosed quartzites and schists. The accompanying map was made by the writer during some explorations carried out over this region in 1919, and as some of the points studied and already published (1), (2) were new and surprising to geological science, the following general description is added.

Rock Specimens

The new material on which this paper is based has lately been received through Mr. D. Ferguson, who recently investigated the geology of the island, and collected the rocks described in an earlier paper. It consists of twenty-seven rock specimens from the south-eastern end of the island, between Cape Disappointment and Cooper Island, and nine specimens from Gold Harbour on the north-east coast between Cooper Island and Royal Bay. All these were collected by the staff of the South Georgia Co., Ltd., under the instructions of Mr. Th. E. Salvesen, managing director, of Leith.

The chief circumstance that induced Capt. Flinders to think his observations Upon the marine barometer were worthy of attention, was the coincidence that took place between the rising and falling of the mercury, and the setting in of winds that blew from the sea and from off the land, to which there seemed to be at least as much reference as to the strength of the wind or the state of the atmosphere. Our author’s examination of the coasts of New Holland and the other parts of the Terra Australis, began at Cape Leuwen, and con­tinued eastward along the south coast. His observations, which, on account of their length, we must pass over, show, that a change of wind from the northern half of the compass to any point in the southern half, caused the mercury to rise; and that a contrary change caused it to fall. Also, that the mercury stood considerably higher When the wind came from the south side of east and west, than when, in similar weather, it came from the north side.

The area over which the Tsakonian dialect is spoken lies on the east coast of the Peloponnese between the Parnon range and the sea. Its northern boundary is roughly the torrent which, rising on Parnon above Kastánitsa, flows into the sea near Ayios Andréas, its southern the torrent which, also rising on Parnon, passes through Lenídhi to the sea. A mountain range stretches along the coast from end to end of the district, reaching its highest point (1114 metres) in Mt. Sevetíla above the village of Korakovúni. Between Tyrós and Pramateftí, the seaward slopes of this range are gentle and well covered with soil. Behind these coast hills there stretches a long highland plain, known as the Palaiókhora, which, in the north, is fairly well covered with soil, but gradually rises towards the south into a region of stony grazing land, and terminates abruptly in the heights above Lenídhi. The high hill of Oríonda rises out of the Palaiókhora to the west and forms a natural centre-point of the whole district. Behind it stretching up to the bare rock of Parnon, is rough hilly country, cut here and there by ravines and offering but rare patches of cultivable land.

Abstract Volcanologic and geomorphic studies in southwestern Iceland show that (1) the basalt breccias of the palagonite deposits exhibit striking analogies with those of Velay (Haute-Loire, France), and similarly seem to be of directly eruptive origin; (2) the fissured domes of certain basalts are the effect of dilatation during cooling; (3) the topography is controlled not only by volcanism but also by four systems of fractures; (4) present eolian action is due to winds from the north and northeast (glaciers) or south and southeast (Atlantic Ocean); (5) dreikanter basalt blocks are now being formed only on the south coast, those in the interior having been formed earlier in times of more extensive glaciation; (6) polygonal soils were formed by shrinkagefollowing pressures developed by winter ice, the size of the polygons depending on whether segmentation was easy (small polygons) or difficult (large polygons).

The East Coast of North Island, New Zealand, is the site of subduction of the Pacific below the Australian plate, and, consequently, much of the basin is highly deformed. An exception is the Raukumara Sub-basin, which forms the northern end of the East Coast Basin and is relatively undeformed. It occupies a marine plain that extends to the north-northeast from the northern coast of the Raukumara Peninsula, reaching water depths of about 3,000 m, although much of the sub-basin lies within the 2,000 m isobath. The sub-basin is about 100 km across and has a roughly triangular plan, bounded by an east-west fault system in the south. It extends about 300 km to the northeast and is bounded to the east by the East Cape subduction ridge and to the west by the volcanic Kermadec Ridge. The northern seismic lines reveal a thickness of around 8 km increasing to 12–13 km in the south. Its stratigraphy consists of a fairly uniformly bedded basal section and an upper, more variable unit separated by a wedge of chaotically bedded material. In the absence of direct evidence from wells and samples, analogies are drawn with onshore geology, where older marine Cretaceous and Paleogene units are separated from a Neogene succession by an allochthonous series of thrust slices emplaced around the time of initiation of the modern plate boundary. The Raukumara Sub-basin is not easily classified. Its location is apparently that of a fore-arc basin along an ocean-to-ocean collision zone, although its sedimentary fill must have been derived chiefly from erosion of the New Zealand land mass. Its relative lack of deformation introduces questions about basin formation and petroleum potential. Although no commercial discoveries have been made in the East Coast Basin, known source rocks are of marine origin and are commonly oil prone, so there is good potential for oil as well as gas in the basin. New seismic data confirm the extent of the sub-basin and its considerable sedimentary thickness. The presence of potential trapping structures and direct hydrocarbon indicators suggest that the Raukumara Sub-basin may contain large volumes of oil and gas.
