TRACKING THE EXTENSION OF THE SEMANGGOL FORMATION USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TECHNIQUES

This study is aimed to track the extension of the Semanggol Formation exposed around the northern states of Malaysia using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The Semanggol Formation has been recorded as segments of three parts separated by the Mahang Formation and igneous rocks although the ex...
