Abstract

Cheongryangsan area ($49.51km^2$) has been designated as the Provincial Park in 1982, because it has magnificent aspect and seasonally spectacular landscapes. Especially, Cheongryangsa sitey ($4.09km^2$) has been designated as Noted Scenery No. 23 in 2007, because it has the same topographical landscape as rock cliffs, rock peaks and caves. The most spectacular landscapes are exhibited in the Cheongryangsan Conglomerate and Osipbong Basalt. There are twelve rock peaks on the ridges of the two strata, and many rock cliffs in the several valleys of strata, in which a few caves are formed by differential weathering and erosion. The valleys, in which flow Cheongryang, Bukgok and Cheonae streams, are classified as fault valleys along WNW-ESE faults. The rock cliffs were generated from vertical joints parallel to WNW-ESE faults in the two strata, and the caves were formed by differential weathering and erosion along bedding of sandstones and shales intercalated in the conglomerates. The rock peaks are landscapes formed by differential erosion along crossed vertical joints in the ridges. The vertical joints are developed subparallel to two WNW-ESE faults and a NNE-WWS fault. Therefore the topographical features are caused by existence of the faults and Lithologic difference in the Cheongryangsan Conglomerate and Osipbong Basalt, and by differential weathering and erosion along them.

청량산 지역은 산세가 웅장하고 4계절의 경관이 아름다워 1982년에 도립공원($49.51km^2$)으로 지정되었으며, 청량사 주변은 암석단애, 암봉, 동굴 등에 의해 지형경관이 수려하여 2007년 명승 제23호($4.09km^2$)로 지정되었다. 특히 청량산역암층과 오십봉현무암층은 지형적 경관면에서 가장 멋진 절경을 드러내며 청량산 도립공원을 지정하게 만든 주체이다. 이 암층에는 능선부에 12개 암봉을 이루고 있으며, 청량 계곡, 한티 및 천애 계곡에 어풍대, 풍월대, 밀성대, 병풍바위, 금강대 등의 많은 암석단애들을 가지고, 그 단애에 김생굴, 금강굴, 원효굴, 한생굴 등의 동굴들을 형성하고 있다. 이 계곡들은 WNW-ESE 방향의 단층에 의한 단층곡에 해당된다. 암석단애들은 청량산역암층과 오십봉현무암층에서 WNW-ESE 방향의 단층에 평행한 수직절리에 의해 이루어진 암벽이고, 동굴들은 단애에서 풍화에 약한 셰일 및 사암의 층리에 따른 차별적 풍화침식에 의해 형성된 것이다. 암봉들은 교차하는 두 방향 수직절리에 의해 능선부가 차별침식되어 형성된 지형경관이다. 이수직절리는 WNW-ESE 방향의 남애단층 및 한티 계곡단층, NNE-SSW 방향의 태곡단층에 거의 평행한 절리들이다. 그러므로 이러한 지형적 특징은 청량산역암층과 오십봉현무암층에서 단층의 존재, 암질차이와 이에 따른 차별적 풍화침식에 그 원인이 있다고 하겠다.
