A Study on the Valley Shapes with Different Parent Rocks in Yeongnam Area

영남지역(嶺南地域) 주요(主要) 모암별(母岩別) 곡간(谷間)의 특성(特性)에 관한 연구(硏究)

This study was conducted to obtain the basic information to increase the practical use of soil survey data through the subdividing of valley shapes with soil sequences due to different parent rocks, and to study the relationship between the valley shapes and parent rock. The various rocks such as sedimentary(gray shale and sand stone) and igneous rocks(granite, granite gneiss and andesite porphyry) which are the major parent rocks in Yeongnam area were investigated. The characteristics of valleys formed and the kinds of soils derived from different rocks were analysed by using aerial photographs and topographical maps scaled 1:5,000. The rill density in igneous rock area was as high as 40. But the rill bifurcation ratio of first order stream was higher in the sedimentary than the igneous rocks except granite area. The mean slope of valleys in igneous areas was about 8%, which was higher than that of the sedimentary areas. The variability of valley width in the complexly metamorphosed rock, such as granite gneiss, and andesite porphyry, was greater than in sedimentary and in granite rocks. Based on the variability of valley widths and valley slopes, it was possible to classify the valleys into two types. The "Uterus-shaped valleys" had wide variability of valley width and were located in the areas of granite gneiss and andesite porphry rocks. while the "Roots-shaped valleys" had narrow variability of valley width and were located in the sedimentary areas. "Uterus-shaped valleys" were typified by having land forms of mountain foot slopes and alluvial fans, and the soil drainage sequences also had complexities. So that, we concluded that the variability of valley width and valley slopes was associated with kinds of parent rocks and metamorphism which influences soil sequence and characteristics.

영남지역 주요 모암과 이들에서 유래(由來)된 곡간의 형태적(形態的) 특성(特性)과의 관계를 연구(究明)해 보고 또 이에 따른 토양의 분포양상(分布樣相) 등을 밝혀 정밀토양조사자료의 활용증대(活用增大) 및 지리정보(地理情報)시스탬 구축(構築)을 위한 곡간지형(谷間地形) 세분화(細分化)의 기초자료를 얻고자 영남지역 주요 모암(母岩)인 퇴적암(堆積岩)(사암(砂岩), 혈암(頁岩))과 화성암(火成岩)(화강암(花崗岩), 화강편마암(花崗片麻岩), 안산암(安山岩))을 중심으로 1:5,000 지형도와 항공사진을 이용해 곡간의 특성과 토양분포양상 등을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 주요 모암별(母岩別) 수계(水系)의 밀도(密度)(Rill density)는 화강암이 40으로 추적암(推積岩)에 비해 높았고 특히 화강편마암은 다른 화성암에 비해 58.3으로 매우 높았으나 1차하천(次河川)(1st.order stream)의 분기율(分岐率)은 퇴적암이 화성암보다 높았다. 곡간의 평균 경사도(傾斜度)는 화성암지대가 8.0%로 퇴적암 2.3%에 비해 높았고 곡간(谷間) 위치별(位置別) 곡간폭(谷間幅)(Valley width)의 변이(變異)는 변성작용(變成作用)을 많이 받았던 화강편마암과 안산암이 화강암과 퇴적암에 비해 컸다. 따라서 곡간폭(Valley width)변이가 큰 화강편마암과 안산암지대는 궁곡(宮谷)(Uterus shape V.)형(型)으로, 변이(變異)가 적었던 회색혈암지대(灰色頁岩地帶)는 근곡(根谷)(Roet shape V.)형(型)으로 분류(分類)할 수 있었다. 또한 곡간폭(Valley width)의 변이는 곡간형태(谷間形態)의 세분화(細分化) 기준(基準)으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 곡간복(Valley width)변이가 큰 지역에서는 산록경사지(山麓傾斜地)및 선상지(扇狀地)가 잘 발달되어 있었고 곡간의 수평적(水平的) 토양배수등급(土壞排水等級) 연쇄(連鎖)도 복잡(複雜)하여 다양(多樣)한 토양(土壤)이 분포(分布)하였다.
