초록

구조지형은 기반암 단층과 암석의 경연차와 같은 약대를 따라 풍화, 침식의 프로세스의 영향을 받아 만들어진 지형이다. 지구 조지형은 현재 활동하고 있는 지진, 화산, 단층과 같은 지구조운동으로 인해 만들어진 지형이다. 우리나라와 같이 판의 내부에 위치하여 지구조운동의 영향이 상대적으로 적고 기후적 특성을 고려하면 실제 현장에서 이 둘을 명확하게 구분하는 것은 어렵다. 최근 활성단층 연구의 증가에 따라 지구조지형에 초점을 맞추어 연구가 진행되고 있으나 더 명확한 지구조지형을 분류하기 위해서는 기반암의 특성에 따른 구조지형의 발달 양상에 대한 이해가 필요하며 기반암의 특성만을 따로 비교분석하기에는 현재 지형은 지구조운동과 기후의 영향을 동시에 받았기 때문에 구조적 요인만을 대상으로 하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 2차원 수치지형발달모형을 이용하여 기후와 지구조운동에 의한 요인을 제한하고, 기반암의 차이에 따른 지형의 시공간적 발달특성에 대해 연구하였다. 기반암 차이에 따른 지형특성을 구분하기 위해 사면·하천과 관련된 지형분석을 하였다. 연구결과 침식가능성이 높은 지형은 평균고도, 기복량, 경사도, 하천차수, 하천경사도지수 모두 낮게 나왔다. 또한 기반암 하천분석 결과 기반암 경계부분에서 천이점이 나왔다. 실제 지형을 연구할 때 지금까지는 지구조운동으로 인한 것인지, 구조적 요인을 받은 것인지 구분할 때 천이점에 있는 기반암의 차이만 고려하였다. 본 연구는 지구조지형과 구조지형을 분류할 때 구조지형으로 분류하기 위해서는 기반암의 차이뿐만 아니라 다양한 지형인자들을 고려하여 종합적으로 판단하여야 할 것임을 시사한다.

A pre-existing landform is created by weathering and erosion along the bedrock fault and the weak zone. A neotectonic landform is formed by neotectonic movements such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and Quaternary faults. It is difficult to clearly distinguish the landform in the actual field because the influence of the tectonic activity in the Korean Peninsula is relatively small, and the magnitude of surface processes (e.g., erosion and weathering) is intense. Thus, to better understand the impact of tectonic activity and distinguish between pre-existing landforms and neotectonic landforms, it is necessary to understand the development process of pre-existing landforms depending on the bedrock characteristics. This study used a two-dimensional numerical landscape evolution model (LEM) to study the spatio-temporal development of landscape according to the different erodibility under the same factors of climate and the uplift rate. We used hill-slope indices (i.e., relief, mean elevation, and slope) and channels (i.e., longitudinal profile, normalized channel steepness index, and stream order) to distinguish the difference according to different bedrocks. As a result of the analysis, the terrain with high erosion potential shows low mean elevation, gentle slope, low stream order, and channel steepness index. However, the value of the landscape with low erosion potential differs from that with high erodibility. In addition, a knickpoint came out at the boundary of the bedrock. When researching the actual topography, the location around the border of difference in bedrock has only been considered a pre-existing factor. This study suggested that differences in bedrock and various topographic indices should be comprehensively considered to classify pre-existing and active tectonic topography.
