The central region of South Korea is composed of Precambrian formations and Jurassic Daebo granites and is divided tectonically into three provinces, that is, the Ok chon geosynclinal zone in the middle, the Kyonggi massif on the north and northwest side, and the Ryongnam massif on the south and southeast side. The general trend of the Okchon geosynclinal zone and the distribution of Daebo granites is northeast, the Sinian direction. The Kyonggi massif is composed of Precambrian Y onchon system, Sangwon system, gneisses, and Daebo granites, and the Ryongnam massif also Precambrian Ryongnam and Yulri systems, gneisses, and Daebo granites. Precambrian formations in both areas are of flysch type sediments and may be roughly correlated with each other. These formations except Sangwon and Yulri systems are thought to be early to middle Precambrian age and have acted as basement for the Okchon geosyncline where late Precambrian Okchon system was deposited. The Okchon geosynclinal zone is divided into paleogeosynclinal zone to southwestern parts where the Okchon system is distributed, and neogeosynclinal zone to northeastern parts where nonmetamorphosed Paleozoic sediments are dominantly cropped out. Both zones are separated by upthrust created by Daebo orogeny of Jurassic period, which continues southwesterly to bind the Okchon geosynclinal zone and the Ryongnam massif at southwestern parts bisecting Korea peninsula diagonally. Three periods of structural development are recognized in the area. Folds and faults of preTriassic age prevail in the Kyonggi massif. Many isoclinal folds and thrusts originated by Jurassic Daebo orogeny are aligned in the Okchon paleogeosynclinal zone paralleling to the geosynclinal axis so that same formation appears repeatedly in narrow strips, whereas fold axis in neogeosynclinal zone trerid west-northwesterly which might be of Triassic in age and modified by later Daebo orogeny. Discontinuity of geology and structure of Okchon geosynclinal zone is attributed to shifting of the geosyncline through geologic time.

The basic rocks distributed in the Okchon paleogeosynclinal zone have been previously considered as intrusive in majority, but as sedimentary parensis in few variety. The present study is to find out some clues to conclude otherwise, if any, by clarifying 1) the nature and characteristics of the rocks, 2) type of the associated sedimentary rocks if any, and 3) their occurrence in related to regional geologic structure. The finding are as follows: 1) The basic rocks are identified and classified to hornblende gabbro, amphibolite, basalt and andesite (in part metamorphosed to meta-volcanics), green schist and peridotite(which appears in separate locality from the others). 2) Associated sedimentary rocks which appear to overlie the basic rocks are known as Kunjasan and Baekwhasan formations. The two formations are probably same, but been used differently by different authers at different localities. The rocks is exclusively consisted of cherty looking siliceous quartzite and some localitis it shows very calcarious nature. The formation seems to indicate a sort of pelagic siliceous sediments although it contain some pebbles. 3) The basic rock suites are always underlain by the same continuous, great thrust, which separates the Okchon paleogeosyncline zone from the neogeosynclinal zone in the area studied. The comparison of Okchon basic rocks suite to the ophiolite suites in other parts of the world indicates some similarity with which the writers suggested the probalility of Okchon basic rocks being ophiolites that occur along ancient geosuture line now represented by the great thrust.

Geological and electrical resistivity surveys were carried out to investigate subsurface geology and geologic structure of the Bonghwajae area in the Okchon zone. Pseudosections of the apparent electrical resistivity distribution along the three survey lines were obtained by using dipole-dipole electrode array method, and models of subsurface geology and geologic structure by using two dimensional finite difference method. The Bonghwajae fault zone exists around Bonghwajae area in the north-south direction, and is a boundary between Okchon Group and Choson Supper Group. Metabasite and hornblende gabbro intruded along the Bonghwajae fault zone remaining two fracture zones with low resistivity value of 20 ohm-m and widths of about 100m and 70-300m. They strike nearly N-S and dip westward with a high angle of $60-70^{\circ}$. Sochangri fault with a width of about 160m exists between Jisogori and Bonghwajae, by which Bonghwajae fault zone is displaced about 1km in the east-west direction. Hornblende gabbro whose electrical resistivity value is in the range of 5000-8000 ohm-m intruded the metabasite of 2000-4500 ohm-m after the Sochangri fault had formed. Great Limestone Group is widely distributed in the east of Bonghwajae fault zone, and interbeds so called Yongam formation of graphitic black slate with an extremely low electrical resistivity value of 2 ohm-m.

Stable isotopic ratios of the carbonate rocks and chemical compositions of the matrix of pebble bearing phyllitic rocks known as the Hwanggangri Formation, which are in hot debate on their origin such as tillite, debris flow and turbidite, were determined to interpret their depositional environment. Argillaceous matrix of the pebble bearing phyllitic rocks has a high content of CaO (av. 19.5%) and MgO (av. 8.3%), corresponding to calcareous sandy shale. No difference of chemical compositions including trace elements and REE is in the matrices between the Hwanggangri and the Kunjasan Formations. Carbonate rocks from the Okchon zone and outside of the zone range $-2.5{\sim}+6.1$‰ in ${\delta}^{13}C$ and $+5.8{\sim}+25.9$‰ in ${\delta}^{18}O$, indicating normal marine limestone. However, unusally $^{13}C$ enriched carbonate rocks might be deposited in the highly evaporated sedimentary basin. A wide variation of ${\delta}^{18}O$ values is responsible for metamorphism with a $^{18}O$ depleted meteoric water. Isotopic equilibrium temperatures by graphite-calcite geothermometer show a higher metamorphic temperature ($547{\sim}589^{\circ}C$) in the Okchon zone than those ($265{\sim}292^{\circ}C$) in the Samtaesan Formation of the Chosun group. Rhythmic alternation of relatively thin shale with thin limestone in the Kounri Formation is not cherty layer but thin limesilicate bed by metasomatic replacement. Judging from the isotopic and chemical compositions of the carbonate rocks and calcareous matrix of the pebble bearing phyllitic rocks, the Hwangganari Formation was deposited in the shallow marine environment favorable to debris flow.

The ELF-MT survey has been conducted at 9 points along the national road between the Sindangri and Dojonri area to study on the boundary between the Okchon and Choson systems, and subsurface geological structure of these two systems. Natural electromagnetic fields of 7.8, 14, and 20 Hz in the Schumann resonant frequency band were used for ELF-MT measurement. Apparent resistivity values were calculated from the measured magnetic and electric fields at each frequency, and resistivity sections were obtained by means of a trial and error method for one-dimensional analysis and finite element method for two-dimensioal analysis. The results of this study show that the resistivities of the Okchon and Choson systems are 700-3500 ohm-m and 40-5000 ohm-m, respectively. The boundary between these two systems is a fault with the width of 1 km fault zone and resistivity value of 200 ohm-m, and is located around Koburangjae. Another fault is appeared in Sindangri, and its resistivity value is 130 ohm-m. Intrusion of biotite granite is distributed in Jungchijae, and its resistivity value is 750 ohm-m. The area between Susanri and Koburangjae shows the highest resistivity value of 3500 ohm-m because metabasite and amphibolite are distributed in that area. Extremely low resistivity value of 40 ohm-m around Yongamsan is due to the Yongam formation, which is composed of graphitic black slate and overlying Choson Great Limestone group.

옥천 변성대 남서부 지역에서 산출되는 변성 니질암에서는 muscovite, biotite 및 chlorite를 주로하는 phyllosilicate가 서로 intergrowth 또는 interlayer를 이루는 것이 편광현미경 관찰, EPMA 분석, Back Scattered Electron (BSE) image 관찰 및 Transmission Electron Micro-scope(TEM) 관찰을 통하여 확인되었다. 이들 광물들은 편광현미경 관찰에서 흔히 각각의 입자를 식별할 수 없을 정도의 미세 규모로 서로 intergrow 되어 있으며BSE image에서는 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 아주 작은 크기에서부터 10.0$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도 크기까지 다양한 규모의 intergrow를 형성하고 있음이 관찰되었다. TEM scale에서는 개별 layer 크기(약 10$\AA$)에서부터 수십 개 layer 크기의 interlayering을 보여준다. 이와 같은 intergrowth 또는 interlayering의 결과로 EPMA 분석에서 종종 보기에는 규진(homogeneous)한 입자라 하더라도 두 개 이상의 광물 성분이 섞여 있는 분석값을 나타내며 이러한 nonstoichiometry는 BSE image에서 interlayer(또는 intergrow) 된 것으로 관찰되는 부분에서 더욱 두드러진다.Chlorite zone에서는 chlorite와 muscovite의 interlayering (C/M)이 주로 발견되며 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite와 biotite의 interlayer (C/B)가 주로 관찰된다. 이는 chlorite zone에서는 속성작용에서 보편적으로 나타나는 C/M으로부터 chlorite가 분리되는 광물반응이 일어나는데 반해서 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite로부터 C/B를 거쳐 biotite를 생성하는 광물반응이 일어나는 것을 의미한다. 이와 같은 현상은 변성작용에서 phollosilicate의 광물반응의 엄밀한 의미에서는 평형(equilibrium) 상태에서 균질한 광물을 생성하기보다는 비평형(disequilibrium) 반응으로 일어난다는 것을 의미한다.

The area studied is a southwestern part of Okcheon geosynclinal zone which streches diagonally across the Korean peninsula in the mid-central parts of South Korea, and is bounded by Charyeong mountain chains in the north and by Sobaek mountain chains in the south. The general trend of the zone is of NE-SW direction known as Sinian direction. Okcheon system of pre-Cambrian age occupies southwestern portion of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, and Choseon and Pyeongan systems of Cambrian to Triassic age in northeastern portion of the zone. It was defined by the writer that the former was called "Okcheon Paleogeosynclinal zone" and the latter "Okcheon Neogeosynclinal zone," although T. Kobayashi named them "Metamorphosed Okcheon zone" and "Non-metamorphosed Okcheon zone" respectively and thought that sedimentary formations in both zones were same in origin and of Paleozonic age, and C.M. Son also described that Okchon system was of post-Choseon (Ordovician) and pre-Kyeongsang (Cretaceous) in age. According to the present study two zones are separated by great fault so that the geology in both zones is not only entirely different in origin and age, but also their geolosical structures are discontinuous. Stratigraphy and structure of Okcheon system are clearly established and defined by the writer and its age is definitely pre-Cambrian. It is clarified by present study that the meta-sediments in and at vicinity of Charyeong mountain chains are correlated to Weonnam series of pre-Cambrian age which occupies and continues from northeast to southwest in and at south of Sobaek mountain chains, and both metasediments constitute basement of Okcheon system. Pyeongan, Daedong and Kyeongsang systems were deposited in few narrow intermontain basins in Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone after it was emerged at the end of Carboniferous period. Granites of Jurassic and Cretaceous ages and volcanics of Cretaceous age are cropped out in the zone. Jurassic granite is aligned generally with the trend of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, whereas Cretaceous granite lacks of trend in distribution. Many isoclinal folds and thrust faults caused by Taebo orogeny at the end of Jurassic period are also parallel with Sinian directieon and dip steeply to northwest. Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu mountain chains are located in areas of anticlinorium, and Kyongsang system in narrow synclinal zones. Folds in Okcheon neogeosynclinal zone are generally of N 70-80W direction but deviate to Sinian direction at the western parts of the zone. This phenomena is interpreted by the fact that the folds were originated by Songrim disturbance at the end of Triassic period and later partly modified by Taebo orogeny. Thrust faults of Taebo orogeny coentinue from Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone into neogeosynclinal zone, forming imbricated structure as previously described. Strike-slip faults perpendicular to Sinian direction and shear faults diagonally across it by 55 degrees also prevail in neogeosynclinal zone. It is concluded from viewpoints on geology and geological structure that l)Okchon geosyncline had changed its location and affected by numerous disturbances through geologic time, and 2)mountain chains in the area such as Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu were originated as folded mountains. Differing from others, however, Sobaek range was probably formed at the time of Songrim disturbance and modified later by Taebo orogeny. It is cut by Danyang-Jeomchon fault at the vicinity of Joryeong near Munkyeong village and does not continue to southwest beyond the fault, whereas southwestern portion of erstwhile Sobaek range continues to Taebaek rangd northeastward from Deogyusan passing through Sangju, Yecheon, and Andong. From these evidences, the writer has newly defined the erstwhile Sobaek range in such a way that Sobaek range is restricted only to northeastern portion and Deogyu range is named for the southwestern portion of previous Bobaek range.

In order to investigate the velocity structure of the southern part of the Korean peninsula, exploded seismic signals were recorded for 120 s along a 294-km WNW-ESE line and 150 s along a 335-km NNW-SSE line in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Velocity tomograms were derived from inverting P-wave and S-wave first arrival times. The raypaths indicate several midcrust interfaces. The shallowest one is at the approximate depth of $2{\sim}3\;km$ with refraction velocities of approximately Vp=6.0 and Vs=3.5 km/s, respectively. The second one of $15{\sim}17\;km$ depth has refraction velocities of approximately Vp=7.1 and Vs=3.7 km/s, respectively. The deepest significant interface varies in depth from 30.8 km to 36.1 km. The critically refracting Vp of $7.8{\sim}8.1\;km/s$ and Vs of $4.2{\sim}4.6\;km/s$ along this interface which may correspond to the Moho discontinuity. The velocity tomograms show (1) existence of a low-velocity zone centered at $6{\sim}7\;km$ depth under the Okchon fold belt and the Yeongnam massif, (2) extension of the Yeongdon fault down to greater than 10 km, and (3) existence of high-velocity materials under the Gyeongsan basin less than 4.2 km thick.
