Abstract

The three-dimensional distribution of the fault was evaluated using gravity field interpretation such as curvature analysis and Euler deconvolution in the Seoul-Gyeonggi region where the Chugaryeong fault zone was developed. In addition, earthquakes that occurred after 2000 and the location of faults were compared. In Bouguer anomaly of Chugaryeong faults, the Pocheon Fault is an approximately 100 km fault that is extended from the northern part of Gyeonggi Province to the west coast through the central part of Seoul. Considering the frequency of epicenters is high, there is a possibility of an active fault. The Wangsukcheon Fault is divided into the northeast and southwest parts of Seoul, but it shows that the fault is connected underground in the bouguer anomaly. The magnitude 3.0 earthquake that occurred in Siheung city in 2010 occurred in an anticipated fault (aF) that developed in the north-south direction. In the western region of the Dongducheon Fault (≒5,500 m), the density boundary of the rock mass is deeper than that in the eastern region (≒4,000 m), suggesting that the tectonic movements of the western and eastern regions of the Dongducheon Fault is different. The maximum depth of the fracture zone developed in the Dongducheon Fault is about 6,500 m, and it is the deepest in the research area. It is estimated that the fracture zone extends to a depth of about 6,000 m for the Pocheon Fault, about 5,000 m for the Wangsukcheon Fault, and about 6,000 m for the Gyeonggang Fault.

추가령 단층대가 발달하는 서울-경기 지역에서 단층의 3차원적인 규모를 확인하기 위해서, 곡률 분석(Curvature analysis)과 오일러 디콘볼루션(Euler deconvolution) 등의 중력장 해석 방법을 이용하여 잔여 중력이상을 해석하였다. 또한 2000년 이후 발생한 진앙과 비교하여 단열 특성을 비교하였다. 부게이상에서 포천단층은 경기 북부에서 서울의 중심부를 지나서 서해안 지역까지 연결된 약 100 km 단층으로 진앙이 빈도가 높아 활성 단층의 가능성이 있고, 단층을 경계로 동서 방향으로 7 km 정도의 변위가 관찰된다. 왕숙천단층은 서울을 중심으로 북동부와 서남부로 분절되어 있으나 지하에서 연결을 암시하는 단층 분절로 추정되는 중력이상대가 관찰된다. 특히 2010년 시흥에서 발생한 규모 3.0의 지진은 남북 방향으로 발달하는 20 km 길이의 단층에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 동두천단층의 서쪽 지역(≒5,500 m)은 중력경계면이 동쪽 지역(≒4,000 m)보다 깊게 나타나며 이는 동두천단층을 중심으로 서쪽 지역과 동쪽 지역의 지구조적인 운동이 다르다는 것을 시사한다. 동두천단층에서 발달한 파쇄대의 최대 깊이는 약 6,500 m이며 연구 지역에서는 가장 깊다. 포천 단층은 약 6,000 m, 왕숙천 단층은 약 5,000 m, 경강 단층은 약 6,000 m 깊이까지 파쇄대가 연장되는 것으로 판단된다.
