MERSING,JOHOR
Project Background
• Pulau Mawar is an island and is located in Johor,
Malaysia. The estimate terrain elevation above sea level
is 35 meters. Pulau Mawar (Rose Island) is located about
26km from Mersing town. It is a 20 mins walk on beach
from the main land
• . Access to certain parts of the island requires skillful
manoeuvring on big rocks, therefore it may be a bit more
difficult for kids and the elderlies.
The Study Of Rock.
• Sedimentary rocks are the second major rock group. It is
formed from fine constituents of rock usually from
mountainous areas which are transported to lower
elevation due to certain processes.
• After traveling at some distance it may get deposited over
some existing rocks which on consolidation will result in
formation of what as known as sedimentary rocks
• Sedimentary rocks cover about 70% of surface of
continents but less than 10% of rocks in the earth's crust
and most encountered in construction projects.
TYPE OF ROCK IN AYER HITAM
Sendimentary Rock
WEATHERING PROCESS
• Weathering occurs because most of rocks in equilibrium with
higher temperatures and pressure deep within the earth.

Combination of
moisture and salts
(halite, gypsum, etc.)
has been found to
cause scaling or decay
of building stones.
• Due to growth of salt the rock break apart
physically.
• Disinegration of rock occur due to expansion of salt
crystal (former voids)
