The topo- graphical model was used to automatically extract minimum surface curvature, slope, and pits. The image Introduction processing shows that more than fourteen regional faults, trending NE, SW, and WNW affect the Kuala Lumpur In tropical regions, the continuous dissolution of carbonate limestone bedrock and the surface topography from South rocks along fault zones and intersected fractures may be to North. These fractures often show higher probability of lead to the occurrence of earth depressions on a large scale piling and constructions problems. The faults are tensional, and/or a few meters (Johnson 1989; Hill 1996), large col- low lying, and wrench of length 10–20 km. Opencast ex- lapse (Gutierrez 1996), concordant synclinal valleys mining pond floors (bathymetry) are good indicators of (Gustavson 1986), and excavation wall collapse (Tan subsurface fractures and cavities that affect the limestone 2006). In addition to geotechnical engineering problems, bedrock. The LANDSAT image (band one) shows that the this has led to the swallowing of many people and infra- fra
