Tanjung Mendidih in Langkawi is known for its unique phenomenon of bubbles surfacing from underwater due to a seabed fault, similar to the Kisap Fault's effect at Ayer Hangar hot springs. This geological activity, potentially involving hot water or gas, remains a mystery yet to be studied by scientists. The site marks a significant geological boundary between the ancient Machinchang Formation sandstone and Setul Formation limestone, showcasing Langkawi's rich geological history.
