Analysis of compressional tectonics influences submarine deposits in Biak Basin, suggesting active faulting shapes the landscape.
The offshore Biak Basin between Biak and Yapen Islands is a transtensional pull-apart basin. Deposition along basin margins is strongly influenced by active faulting. The bathymetric map of the basin shows submarine depositional processes occurred during relatively recent tectonic activity.
