The Relationship Between Geological and Environmental Aspects with the Anomalies of Track Elements and Heavy Metal Elements in the Volcanic Area of the Muria Peninsula

The Muria Peninsula is a complex of volcanic activity located in the back arc of Sunda, which includes Kudus, Jepara, and surrounding districts. Volcanic activity on Mount Muria, can be used to study geological conditions, which were closely related to chemical elements. The presence of chemical elements in the river sediments of the Muria Peninsula was also influenced by anthropogenic heavy metal pollutants present in river deposits along the Muria Peninsula. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the geological conditions and the environmental conditions of the Muria Peninsula with the anomaly of track elements and heavy metal elements. The methods used in this research were the pick test method, XRF geochemistry and the results were correlated into a geochemical anomaly map. The results showed that there were trace elements anomalies of Ce and Nd in Jepara area which were influenced by Muria shoshonitic rocks. Anomaly of Cu element was found in Jepara area, anomaly of Mn element was found in Jepara and Demak, and anomaly of Zn element was found in Jepara and Demak. Anomaly of Cu, M,n and Zn elements were high in upstream area and caused by land use of dry agriculture, paddy fields and settlement areas.
