Abstract

The Naeyeonsan Tuff is a stratigraphic unit which is distinguished as a cooling unit in the volcanic rocks of the northern Pohang. The Naeyeonsan Tuff, which is composed of crystals of plagioclase, quartz and hornblende, glasses of pumice and shard, and lithics of dacite, rhyolite, sandstone and shale, belongs to a lapilli tuff field according to the granulometric classification and to a vitric tuff field according to the constituent classification. The tuffs mostly develop welding foliations by dense welding and flatterning pumices and shards, and show several flow indicators by pyroclastic flowing. We can know a movement pattern from flow lineations and imbrications by pumices and lithics, and lateral gradings in isopleth map by average largest lithics and pumices in the Naeyeonsan Tuff, which indicate that the Naeyeonsan Tuff had a possible source area from the southeastern part.

내연산응회암은 포항 북부의 화산암류에서 하나의 냉각단위로 구별되는 층서단위이다. 이 응회암은 사장석, 석영, 각섬석 등의 결정편, 부석과 샤아드의 유리질편, 데사이트, 유문암, 사암, 셰일 등의 암편으로 구성된다. 이들은 그 입도에 의하면 대부분 라필리응회암에 속하고 구성원에 의하면 파리질 응회암에 속한다. 대부분 부석과 샤아드들은 용결작용과 편평화로 인한 용결엽리를 발달시키며 화쇄류에 의한 흐름지시자를 보여준다. 우리는 이 내연산응회암에서 흐름지시자로서 부석, 암편들의 정향배열에 의한 유상선구조과 와상배열로부터 이동패턴, 암편과 부석들의 평균최대입경에 의한 등입경도로부터 측방점이를 알아냈다. 이러한 이동패턴과 측방점이에 의하면 이 응회암을 집적시킨 화쇄류의 가능공급지가 남동쪽에 있었던 것으로 해석된다.
