Description
Summary:The location of Indonesia which is in the ring of fire path causes Indonesia to have many active volcanoes. The existence of the volcano is a source of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative energy. Indonesia has a large geothermal potential. To maximize geothermal potential, it is necessary to develop good geothermal exploration technology. In the geothermal exploration stage, a geophysical method is needed to prove the subsurface conditions in the form of a geothermal system using the magnetotelluric method. In this study, the magnetotelluric method will be used to analyze the underground structure of the ‘x’ area. In the magnetotelluric method, the four Maxwell equations will be derived to obtain the apparent resistivity and phase. The resistivity distribution will vary from small to large in units of ohm.m.
