Abstract

A representative sample of West Malaysian fourth-order drainage basins is classified into six standard groups by cluster analysis, which reduces the degree of subjectivity inherent in earlier methods of landform classification. All pairs of basins in the sample are intercorrelated over five morphometric variables: hypsometric integral, average slope, basin relief, drainage density, and basin area. Standard groups consist of basins which correlate significantly with basic pairs, and for which morphometric indices have similar mean values. The drainage basin map reflects the main features of West Malaysian geomorphology.
