Abstract
We must distinguish between the present-day, active volcanism and the volcanic activity in the course of the geological history (=palaeovolcanism). The volcanic activity as we observe it at present in Indonesia is no more than a still from a moving picture of the volcanic activity, which has taken place in Indonesia from the oldest times till now.
