The formation process of the island of Java



An ancient geological theory states, the process of land formation that occurs in parts of southern Asia is due process of moving to the northern Indian subcontinent, which collided with a slab of the north. Movement of earth plates which later gave birth to the Himalayas. 

That said, the process occurs in 20-36 million years ago. Children in the southern continent is partially submerged sea water, so that appears on the surface of the cluster-cluster of islands which is a chain of volcanoes. Cluster of islands in Southeast Asia, which in part is Nuswantoro (Archipelago), which in ancient times called Sweta Dwipa. From the mainland is one of them is a cluster of sub-continent called Jawata, which one piece is part of the island of Java Jawa.Jawata means teacher. Wong said Wahong, and tiyang of Ti word Hyang, which means descendant or derived from the Gods. It is said that because that is the island of Bali until today still known as the island of Gods, as also a piece of the continent Sweta Dwipa or Jawata.
Considering that once the Indian subcontinent and Sweta Dwipa or Jawata that one area, it is not surprising that there are almost the same culture, or easy to accept mutual influence. Also perkembagan religion in this region, especially Hinduism and Buddhism are almost identical.
