Abstract

Lineaments along the Yangsan and Ulsan fault systems were extracted through aerial photograph interpretation in the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula. Lineaments can be classified into five ranks on the basis of certainty and divided by curvatures. Mean strikes of all lineament by aerial photograph interpretation is dominant in NS ~N05$^{\circ}$E direction along the Ulsan fault system and Nl5-20$^{\circ}$E direction along the Yangsan fault system respectively. The curvature of lineament around Yangsan Fault is different from around the Ulsan Fault system, the former shows that straight lineament is dominant but the latter curved lineaments are dominant. It indicates that the Quaternary faults around Ulsan Fault would be appeared as reverse fault.
