| Weathered Rocks Pounded by Waves |
| These slanting rocks are by no means short in the days of old. They have been weathered down to size by the continuous action of the sea pounding them everyday through the eons. They were created by earth movements in the earth crust. First compressed and folded up like wrinkles, they are then subjected to the abrasive action of weathering and had their anticlines (top of the folds) eroded away, leaving the layered folds 'topless'. Further weathering ensure that the softer layers are eroded much faster than the harder ones. This leaves strange-looking furrows or 'drains' where softer layers have disappeared. This type of formation can be found at Rimau Point. Now...who say Physical Geography is boring, huh? : ) |
