1936년 지리산 지진에 대하여
Abstract
The Chirisan earthquake occurred on July 4, 1936 was the largest earthquake known to have occurred in Southern Korean in the twentieth century. After, the magnitude of the earthquake was estimated to be ML = 5.0. It was recorded at eleven seismological stations and tremors were felt throughout the Southen Peninsula. However, damages were restricted in relatively narrow area including the SSangysa Temple and nearby town Sukmoon. Fairy detailed report(Hayata, 1940) was published and some reserches based on the report have been performed. The present study briefly introduces damages and researches corresponding the earthquake. Intensity attenuation and peak ground acceleration are also evaluated.
