Geology and landslide investigation using electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) at Kg. Chuchuh Puteri, Kuala Krai, Kelantan

Kg. Chuchuh Puteri is located at Kuala Krai, Kelantan which been chosen as the location in this final year project with along latitude 05° 24’ 12.15” N to 05° 21’ 31.88” N and longitude 102° 18’ 44.50” E to 102° 18’ 56.99” E. The objectives of this project are to update geological map at a scale of 25 km2 and to identify potential landslide risk using electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) in the study area. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) has been used as the methodology of this study. Several types of study included in this project which are petrography, stratigraphy, geomorphology and structural geology. In order to gather all the information in completing this study, the geological mapping has been done and the samples must go through the petrography examination. Rocks composed of clay and metamorphic rock as well been found in the study area. Six survey lines were established during the geophysical survey at six different locations. For location 1, 2, 4 and 5 follows Pole-dipole electrode configuration array while location 3 and 6 follow Schlumberger electrode configuration arrays and all the data from all locations were recorded using ABEM Terrameter LS 1, then the data is processed by using RES2DINV software. The result show that potential landslide risk area may existing in the line survey 6. As for the result in minerals that discovered in this study are quartz, feldspar and biotite. Types of rock that can be found in the location is metamorphic rock which are sandstone, gneiss and quartzite through the geological mapping. Sample of the rocks in this area are mostly in medium fine-grained texture of rocks. Geological features that been found in the study area such as minor vein and fold. A substantial amount of study on the area has been advocated, with an emphasis on the structural geology of the area.
