## Main Range, Malaysia

The major characteristics of the geology of the western part of the Malay Peninsula are illustrated by this radar image. The north-south running granitic Main Range and the other granitic hills (such as on the island of Penang) stand out clearly along with various structural lineaments. The flat western coastal plain with the lower courses of the meandering Perak and other rivers is clearly visible. Such a radar image not only sees through clouds but also highlights some of the geological characteristics and relief features.
