Abstract

The Korean historical 1iteratures describe that great eaathquakes with destructive damages occurred mainly in Kyongju-Ulsan areas during the period of 1 to 8 century and 16 to 17 century. It seems that the Ulsan fault system shows a little curved ttend with N-S strike in the southern part and diverges into three directions from the mid-northern lart of the fault. The dominant trends of the lineaments are NNE-SSW, NE-SW and NS directions. Trench excavation in the mid-northern part of the Ulsan fault shows thrust facies cutting slope deposit containing a compacted laminar structure whose origin may due to severe cryogenic activities of the last cold period(ahout 25OOO B.P.). Detailed observation of the facies gives some evidences related to two earthquake episodes of thrust components along the Ulsan fault system. Fault outcrop and trench study suggest that Ulsan fault seems to he one of the active fault which has reworked several times even in the late Quaternary.

한국의 역사 문헌에 의하면 파괴적인 피해를 동반한 대지진들이 1-8 세기와 16-17 세기에 주로 경주와 울산 부근에서 발생했다. 울산단층 동부 지역에서의 선구조선들의 분포를 NNE-SSW, NE-SW, NS 성분이 우세하게 나타나며 울산단층은 중북부에서 세 방향으로 분기하는 단층계를 형성한다고 보여진다. 울산단층은 중북부에서의 트렌치 조사에 의하면 본 단층은 마지막 빙기 (약 25,000 B.P)동안의 심한 결빙작용으로 나타나 엽리구조를 포함하는 사면 퇴적물을 절단하고 있으며 트러스트 성분의 단층운동이 2회 발생한 흔적을 보인다. 야외 노두와 트렌치 조사에 의하면 울산 단층은 제 4 기 후기 이후에도 여러회 활동한 단층으로 추정된다.
