The legends continue

If you visualise the rocks formed prior to the legends took place, perhaps you should say the rock formed the legends. The legends told from the rock; how the geology of Langkawi was formed 500 million years ago, where the oldest rock in Langkawi found exposed as Machinchang Mountain or locally known as Gunung Mat Cincang. The humanlike profile of rock formation that resembles a man. Legend said this was the remnant of a giant turned mountain. The geology this was formed by sedimentary rock comprises of mainly sandstone at a paleo riverive delta and uplifted by earth tectonic processes.

Do you know that "A large pot of gravy (kuah) was broken and the contents flowed onto the ground. Where the gravy spilt, became know as Kuah (the largest town on Langkawi island) and where the crockery (belanga) was broken (pecah) was location of the village Kampung Belanga Pecah (belaga pecah means broken crockery). The gravy seep in (kisap) through the land at the village named Kisap." The Kisap in geology context is a major fault that the brittle rock fractured or crushed by tectonic, known by geologist as Kisap Fault. The extent of highly fractured rock covers Belanga Pecah where you can find the 'broken cooking pots' like crushed rocks, and also Telaga Ayer Hangat (hotspring), it is believe the hot water spring seeps out from the very deep underground carrying the heat from the earth.
