Geology and geomorphology of Kg Slow Pak long, Kuala Krai

The study mainly focused on Geological mapping and geomorphology of Kg Slow Pak Long, Kuala Krai Kelantan. Kg Slow Pak Long was identified to be part of Gunong , Rabong formation. From the field observation and geological mapping, three types of lithology in the study area were identified as (1) In...
