Gravity And Magnetic Data Analysis To Detect The Basement Rock Structure At Sungai Pahang Delta Area

The objective of this study is to model and establish a geological structure, mainly the basement rock, using potential field analysis. Two potential field methods, i.e. gravitational field and magnetic field were used in this study. The coastal margin sedimentary basin at Sungai Pahang Delta in P...
