Formerly penunjamannya direction from east to west, and the possible connection of the reef extends towards the south Kalimantan have the same characteristics of the rocks caused by shifting plates of the same process. The meeting will menunjam oceanic plate downward due to gravity is higher than the continental shelf. Subduction continued until the bowels of the earth that have a high temperature and pressure, so that the rock be melted and then nothing appears out of the bowels of the earth. Outcrop of ancient rock-outcrop in Karangsambung slowly appear on the surface due to soil erosion. So it can be concluded that Karangsambung was once a rock bottom of the ocean.
