Mount Ramelau

The Ramelau Mountain Range is the result of orogenic forces due to the collision of Australia and Asian tectonic plates. The tallest mountain in the Ramelau Mountain Range is made of mafic volcanic deposits related to intra-cratonic rifting, called the Maubisse Formation, deposited in the Permian. This is one of the oldest formations on the island of Timor, and was deposited the furthest away from the coast of Australia. Though the Maubisse Formation was one of the first units to collide with the Asian Banda volcanic arc, the Maubisse Formation thrust sheet became a roof thrust, resulting in younger sediments arriving to the collision zone at later times to stack up underneath the Maubisse sheet, a process called duplex thrusting. This has led to the Maubisse Formation being the highest topographic formation on the island and only being found North of the Ramelau Range.
