Geology is the study of this planet Earth, its origin, history, composition,
structure and dynamics of how it changes. The word geology is derived from Greek
word (geo-earth; logos- discourse). Geology is an event formed during geological
time which involves interpretation and also observation of the event that occurred
and it is still occurring at present in our earth. Geology processes that takes place
during the very large span of geological time, left their record in the rocks. One of
the unique features of Earth is that the Earth is not a static body but is in constant
motion and changes continually.
Geology study the Earth formed and evolved during the past 4.4 billion
years, including the origin of continents, oceans, atmosphere and life and how
natural processes deep within Earth's interior shape the surface on which we live.
As a Geology student, you will learn how to interpret geological processes and
Earth history, and about the formation of important resources and how climate and
environments change through time. Geology is a course for those with an insatiable
curiosity of the world around them, and for those who love the great outdoors. From
geology course we can know more about rocks and its minerals, failure of the rocks,
geologic agent, and weathering and how certain rocks formed.
1.2 Trip introduction.
This project was carried out site visit at Ayer Hitam,Batu, Johor and Pulau
Mawar, Mersing,Johor under Geology Engineering subject (BFC 3103) to give a
real view and experience of geological structure. . It provides students the
opportunity to apply their accumulated knowledge and skills to the investigation
and interpretation of unfamiliar geologic areas. The field trip is a tradition in the
education of a geologist. It is an intensive outdoor course that applies classroom
and laboratory training to solving geological problems in the field. Skills developed
during field trip typically include, collection of geologic data, interpreting geologic
structures and how to take notes in the field.

ANALYSIS OF DATA
REPORT RESULTS
1. Mineral & Rock Identification
Lecturer/Instructor will give explanation on geological history at this area. Every student should
take samples of rocks by using geology hammer.
Students should write down the physical identification of mineral and rock and finally give the
name of the rock.
2. Weathering
Lecturer/Instructor will give explanation to identify types of weathering (physical & chemical
weathering) present at site. Then, lecturer will explain students to perform weathering profiling
of the rock outcrop. Record and sketch the types of weathering & weathering profile of the
outcrop based on guidelines at Table 1 and 2. Snap photo of the related weathering outcrop
which present at site
3. Identifying the geological structure
Lecturer/Instructor will give explanation regarding geology structure within this area. Record
and snap photo all geological structure which may present at site.
Measure and record the discontinuity data survey data (dip direction, strike and dip angle) using
geology compass and physical mapping. Record all the data (use Figure 1 as a guidelines for
discontinuity features) at Table 3 and snap photo of the related data which present at site
Lecturer/Instructor will give explanation to define each types of failure mode in rock slope
(Figure 2: Circular, plane, wedge and toppling). Used the camera to capture the available photo
of the failure mode (if any).
