초록

2017년 11월 15일 Mw 5.4의 포항지진은 흥해지역 지하 약 4 km의 진원 깊이에서 발생하여 포항시에 막대한 피해를 끼쳤다. 포항분지의 중부에 해당하는 흥해지역은 백악기 경상누층군과 백악기 말~고신생기 초불국사 화성암류를 기반암으로 하여 포항분지 충전물인 신신생기 연일층군이 분포한다. 이 논문에서는 포항분지에서 지각변형물(습곡, 단층, 절리)과 포항지진 동시성 지표변형물(모래화산, 지표균열, 팝업구조)에 대한 구조지질학적 연구를 수행하여 포항분지의 변형작용사와 포항지진 동시성 지표변형의 특성을 고찰해 보았다. 연구지역의 지각변형물은 제4기 단층운동 이전까지 적어도 5회의 변형단계를 거쳐 형성되었다: (북)북동 주향에 고각 경사하는 정이동(곡강단층) 단층 형성단계, 연일층군에 광역적으로 인지되는 동-서 방향의 고각 절리와 이에 (준)평행한 단층 형성단계, 동-서 주향에 중각 내지 저각 경사하는 공액상 정이동 단층(흥해단층과 형산단층)과 이에 수반된 동-서 계열의 습곡 형성단계, (역이동성) 좌수향 주향이동의 (북)북서 방향 단층조와 우수향 주향이동의 동-서(북동) 방향 단층조가 고각으로 경사하는 공액상 주향이동 단층 형성단계, 북북동과 북북서 주향에 중각 경사하는 공액상 역이동 단층과 이에 수반된 남-북 계열의 습곡 형성단계. 포항지진 동시성 지표변형물에서 모래화산은 종종 지표균열과 (준)평행한 선상배열을 보인다. 남-북 내지 (북)북동 방향의 팝업구조와 지표균열, 동-서 내지 서북서 방향의 지표균열 등은 포항지진 발생 응력원의 최대수평응력에 의한 지진원 단층의 역이동성 운동과 이에 수반된 상반지괴의 좌굴습곡작용에 의해 형성되었다. 이러한 구조적 활동은 지진원 단층의 상반지괴에 해당하는 포항시 흥해읍 중심으로 광범위하게 발생하여 이곳에 막대한 재산 피해를 끼쳤다.

On November 15, 2017, a Mw 5.4 Pohang Earthquake occurred at about 4 km hypocenter in the Heunghae area, and caused great damage to Pohang city, Korea. In the Heunghae area, which is the central part of the Pohang Basin, the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Supergroup and the Late Cretaceous to Early Paleogene Bulguksa igneous rocks as basement rocks and the Neogene Yeonil Group as the fillings of the Pohang Basin, are distributed. In this paper, structural and geological researches on the crustal deformations (folds, faults, joints) in the Pohang Basin and the coseismic ground deformations (sand volcanoes, ground cracks, pup-up structures) of Pohang Earthquake were carried out, and the deformation history of the Pohang Basin and characteristics of the coseismic ground deformations were considered. The crustal deformations were formed through at least five deformation stages before the Quaternary faulting: forming stages of the normal-slip (Gokgang fault) faults which strike (N)NE and dip at high angles, and the high-angle joints of E-W trend regionally recognized in Yeonil Group and the faults (sub)parallel to them, and the conjugate normal-slip faults (Heunghae fault and Hyeongsan fault) which strike E-W and dip at middle or low angles and the accompanying E-W folds, and the conjugate strike-slip faults dipped at high angles in which the (N)NW and E-W (NE) striking fault sets show the (reverse) sinistral and dextral strike-slips, respectively, and the conjugate reverse-slip faults in which the NNE and NNW striking fault sets dip at middle angles and the accompanying N-S folds. Sand volcanoes often exhibit linear arrangements (sub)parallel to ground cracks in the coseismic ground deformations. The N-S or (N)NE trending pop-up structures and ground cracks and E-W or (W)NW trending ground were formed by the reverse-slip movement of the earthquake source fault and the accompanying buckling folding of its hanging wall due to the maximum horizontal stress of the Pohang Earthquake source. These structural activities occurred extensively in the Heunghae area, which is at the hanging wall of the earthquake source fault, and caused enormous property damages here.
