AbstraK
Sebanyak
dua teras sedimen diperoleh dari Lembangan Melayu dan Selat Melaka bagi
mengenal pasti pemendapan sedimen serta proses 210Pb di Lembangan
Melayu dan Selat Melaka. Di kawasan kajian, purata aktiviti 210Pb
adalah sebanyak 111.47 ± 15.01 Bq/kg dan 126.38 ± 16.8 Bq/kg di stesen M17 dan
M43 dengan perbezaan antara stesen adalah sebanyak 10%. Kedua-dua stesen
menerima input yang berlainan melalui saluran air ke arah kawasan persampelan,
menyebabkan peningkatan kandungan 210Pb di dalam sedimen. Proses
hidrologi yang dikawal melalui perbezaan temporal turut mempengaruhi proses
fizikal dan secara tidak langsung, mempengaruhi proses sedimentasi. Proses
hidrologi melalui perbezaan temporal yang mempengaruhi proses fizikal dan kemudiannya
mempengaruhi kadar proses pemendapan. Memandangkan sistem monsun mempengaruhi
daya kitaran hidrologi, mekanisme timbal-balik kesan saiz butiran terhadap 210Pb
telah berubah berikutan pengaruh arus monsun bersama dengan lempung sebagai
pembawa utama yang menonjol untuk teras sedimen, sekali gus mempunyai kesan
serta-merta pada pemendapan sedimen. Di samping itu, inventori dan fluks
Lembangan Melayu dan Selat Melaka menunjukkan kesan monsun juga menyumbang
kepada perubahan inventori dan fluks 210Pb di Lembangan Melayu dan
Selat Melaka apabila daya kitaran hidrologi mengubah keupayaan kesan
penggarutan 210Pb di sekitar perantaraan sedimen dan air laut.
Kata
kunci: Lembangan Melayu; pemendapan sedimen; proses endapan; Selat Melaka; 210Pb
Abstract
A total of two sediment core were acquired from the
Malay Basin and the Straits of Malacca to investigate sedimentary deposition
and process of 210Pb. At the site studied, the average 210Pb
activity were 111.47 ± 15.01 Bq/kg and 126.38 ± 16.8 Bq/kg at M17 and M43,
respectively, with difference of both stations at 10%. Both stations receive a
different sediment input from each region which supplies to respective water
masses, thus leading to the elevated 210Pb concentration in both
stations. Hydrological processes through temporal difference affecting the
physical processes and later influence the rate of sedimentation processes.
Since monsoonal system affecting the motion of hydrological forces, the
response of mechanism of grain size effect towards 210Pb were altered
following monsoonal-induced current in conjunction with clay as prominent
carrier for both sediment cores, thus having an immediate effect on the current
sedimentary deposition. In addition, inventories and flux of Malay Basin and
Straits of Malacca shows the monsoonal effect as main contributor for the
several hydrological forces affecting the 210Pb along with effective
scavenging of 210Pb between water-sediment interface thus affecting
the total 210Pb flux and inventories in sediment core.
