초록

울산단층대 중동부의 동변인 경상북도 경주시 외동읍 개곡리 남부에서 제3기초의 화강암이 제4기의 미고결 모래층이나 자갈층과 단층을 경계로 접하고 있다. 새로이 알려진 이 단층(개곡 6단층)은 $N02^{\circ}{\sim}22^{\circ}E$의 주향에 $45^{\circ}{\sim}80^{\circ}W$의 경사를 보인다. 이 단층은 풍화된 화강암의 단층각력과 함께 제4기 퇴적물로 뒤섞인 30~50 cm 폭의 쇄성전단대와 단층비지대로 구성되어 있다. 주된 단층조선의 자세는 $17^{\circ}$, $356^{\circ}$이며, 정단층성 운동성분을 가지는 우수향의 주향이동을 보인다. 이와 함께 주단층면을 자르며 서쪽 블록이 상승한 역단층운동을 지시하는 단층조선($78^{\circ}$, $278^{\circ}$$43^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$)도 관찰된다. 개곡 6단층은 이미 확인된 이 지역의 제4기 단층들과는 달리 서측 제3기초의 화강암이 동측의 제4기 역층을 올라탄, 외견상 서측이 상승한 형태를 보인다. 단층의 조선과 전단증거에 의하면 2회 이상의 단층운동과 관련한 압축운동기가 존재했음을 지시하고 있다. 개곡 6단층은 방향성, 서측으로 경사하는 기하학적인 양상, 그리고 서측이 상승한 운동학적인 양상 등이 북쪽에서 확인된 개곡 1단층과 유사하다. 그러므로 개곡 6단층은 개곡 1단층의 남쪽 연장으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a Quaternary fault is described, which is developed in the mid-eastern part of Ulsan Fault Zone, near the southern Gaegok-ri, Oedong-eub, Gyeongju, Korea. The Gaegok 6 fault is developed along the contact between Early Tertiary granite and Quaternary gravel deposit overlying unconformably the granite. The fault strikes $N02^{\circ}{\sim}22^{\circ}E$ and dips $45^{\circ}{\sim}80^{\circ}$ to the west. This fault has a 30~50 cm wide cataclastic shear zone with gouge zone, mixed with Quaternary sediments and fault breccia of granite. In the main Quaternary fault plane, the orientation of striation is $17^{\circ}$, $356^{\circ}$, indicating a dextral strike-slip faulting with some normal component. There is another striation ($78^{\circ}$, $278^{\circ}$ and $43^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$) with reverse-slip sense, developed on the subsidiary plane which cuts the main Quaternary fault plane. In brief, the fault has been developed between the granite in the western part and the Quaternary gravel deposit in the eastern part. The western block of fault is uplifted. The striations and movement senses of faults indicate multiple compressional stages in this region. The fault has a similar orientation, westward dipping geometric pattern, and reverse sensed kinematic pattern with Gaegok 1 fault developed in the north. Thus, the Gaegok 6 fault is probably a southern extension of Gaegok 1 fault.
