Geology and petrography of granite in Pulau Redang, Terengganu

The study area is located at the Pulau Redang that is lying close to the equator, which is in the South China Sea off the northeast coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is located about 45km north-northeast of Kuala Terengganu. The gateway to Pulau Redang, with the closest point from the mainland, is ab...
