Abstract

Major fault structures of Peninsular Malaysia were interpreted by satellite gravity data obtained from EGM2008. Filtering including THD, TVD, TDR, TDX and Euler Deconvolution inversion techniuques were applied to the data and successfully delineated the major faults especially located in the area separating the granite and sedimentary rock such as Bok Bak, Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tinggi and Lebir faults. The main finding of this research is the boundary separating the western and eastern belt of Peninsular Malaysia namely the Bentong-Raub Suture by the abrupt changes of gravity anomalies between the two belts. The average depths and dips of Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tinggi and Seremban faults were estimated by gravity inversion 3D Euler Deconvolution.
