Tectonic evolution in the region has produced significant oil and gas reserves and mineral deposits, and underpins major biogeographic divides (e.g. Wallace's Line), biodiversity and diversity hotspots in the region. | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, p. 1-29 | Publisher: | Elsevier Inc | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISBN: | 9780124095489 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 049999 Earth Sciences not elsewhere classified 040313 Tectonics 040301 Basin Analysis |
