A study on the geomorphology and sedimentology of the selected coastal zone and estuaries of Terengganu, Malaysia

Abstract

A study for geomorphology and sedimentology was conducted using beach profile and bathymetry. The sedimentological characteristics (mean, sorting and skewness) were conducted using dry sieving method and laser diffraction method. The mineral contents of the sediments were determined using scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX) and quantitative mineral examination (QME).
