The Kuala Terengganu nearshore area has been studied in order to gain
insight of the seafloor bathymetry dynamics. The seabed profile, textural
properties and depositional process of the surface sediment were determined
during pre- and post-Northeast monsoon periods at three distinct
environments. The seabed is heavily influenced by the Northeast monsoon
season which alters the profile gradients and induces accretion and erosion
at several parts of the nearshore. Meanwhile, grain size trend analysis of the
grain size distribution of the nearshore seafloor sediments at these various
sites show varied nature in their mean grain size as well as values of sorting
and skewness. Based on this evidence, the statistical parameters of grain
size distributions thus allowed recognition of dissimilar environments. |
