  • Tertiary Pohang basin distributed in south western part of the Korean peninsula, is composed of Chunbuk formation as the basal conglomerate, Hakjon formation, Duho formation and intrusive basalt having 15 Ma by absolute age data. The basement of the basin is represented to Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, Hakjon welded tuff and Chilpo welded tuff and rhyolite. The fault systems in the basement of Tertiary Pohang basin are consist of $N20^{\circ}E$ fault, $N60^{\circ}W$ and E-W trend. NNE fault is not only strike-slip but also normal dip-slip. WNW fault has sinistral strike-slip sense and the geometry of E-W fault is strike-slip and normal faults. In the basin, the fault system is represented to $N20^{\circ}E$ strike-slip, E-W normal and NNE thrust faults. By these fault relationship and geometry, it is interpreted that NNE sinistral strike-slip fault and N-S normal faults have acted at the Cretaceous basement. After Miocene NNE dextral strike-slip fault has acted and created E-W normal fault. Progressively Tertiary basin was influenced by the transpression to make thrust and fold, namely inversion tectonics.

  • Tertiary Pohang basin distributed in south weatern part of the korean peninsula, is composed of Chunbuk formation as the basal conglomerate, Hakjon formation, Duho formation and intrusive basalt which is 15 Ma by absolute age data. The basement of the basin is represented by Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, Hakjon welded tuff and Chilpo welded tuff and rhyolite. The fault systems at the basement of the Pohang basin are consist of NNE direction fault, WNW to EW trend fault. NNE fault is not only strike-slip fault but also normal fault. n fault has sinistral strike-slip sene and the EW fault is strike-slip and normal fault. In the Tertiary basin, the fault system is represented by nm strike-slip fault, EW normal fault and NNE thrust fault. By these fault relationships and geometries, it is interpreted that NNE sinistral strike-slip fault and nomal fault have acted at Creceous times. At Tertiary tines, NNE dextralstrike-slip fault and EW normal fault has created. Progressively Tertiary Pohang basin was influenced by the trenspression to make thrust fault and fold, namely as inversion tectonics.

  • The Yongdong basin developed during Early Cretaceous in the central part of the Korean Peninsula and bounded on the northwest and southeast by northeast trending mega-scale strike-slip Yongdong Fault. An 8 km thick succession of exclusively terrigeneous sediments can be grouped into two mega-sequences. In concert with the migration of depocenter, the upper sequence overlaps the lower and occupies northern part of the basin during basin evolution. Alluvial and lacustrine environments were predominantly formed from early to late stage of the basin formation. Several lines of evidence support that the basin was formed within intra-arc tectonic environments and destroyed by polyphase tectonic force. Schematic evolutionary diagram of the basin is proposed.

  • To interpret the relationship between movement of the Yangsan fault and tectonics around the Korean peninsula, the six sequential paleostresses were reconstructed from 1, 033 striated small faults which were measured at 37 outcrops along the strike of the Yangsan fault. And, the relationship between these paleostresses of the Yangsan fault and the tectonic events around the Korean peninsula were compared. As compared with the tectonic history around the Korean peninsula, the movement of the Yangsan fault is interpreted as follows; The initial feature of the Yangsan fault was formed with the development of extension fractures by the NW-SE extension. The fault experienced a right-lateral strike-slip movement continuously. The movements had been continued until the Late Miocene age, which was the most active period in faulting. The left-lateral strike-slip movement was followed by subsequent tectonic events. In the last stage, the fault acted with a slight extension or right-lateral movement.

  • The history of the Palgongsan Fault comprises the growth-fault, the dormant and the strike-slip phases. Dissecting the Palgongsan Granite, the Palgongsan Strike-slip Fault, which is the product of the final phase, sinistrally offset about 5.5 km as shown in the dislocation of the Hasandong Formation. Faulting, sedimentation and igneous activity were inter-related in the early phases of the Palgongsan Fault. Some other faults such as the Dansan Pond Fault and the Hayang Fault have also been discovered, and their some stratigraphic implications and the ages of faulting are discussed. The anomalous development of the Jindong Formation in the study area and the related stratigraphic problems are discussed. It has been confirmed that the Konchonri Formation deposited over the Chaeyaksan Volcanic Formation in spite of the recent doubts on their such stratigraphic relation. The chronological sequence of the volcanisms of the Kyongsang Basin has been summarized.

  • In and around the Korean Peninsula 22 intraplate earthquake mechanisms since 1936 were analyzed to understand the regional stress orientation and tectonics. These 22 earthquakes are largest ones in this century and may represent the characteristics of earthquake in the region. Focal mechanism of earthquakes in the region show predominant strike-slip faulting with small amount of thrust components. The average P-axis is almost horizontal ENE- WSW. Studied data are compared with neighboring intraplate region in order to understand the tectonic regime in far est Asia. In northeastern China strike-slip faulting is dominant and nearly horizontal average P-axis in ENE- WSW is very similar with the Korean Peninsula. On the other hand in the eastern part of East Sea thrust faulting is dominant and average P-axis is horizontal with ESE- WSW This indicate that not only the subducting Pacific Plate in east but also the indenting Indian Plate controls earthquake mechanism in the far east of the Eurasian Plate.

  • 탄성파 탐사 단면도와 시추자료들을 이용하여 울릉분지 남쪽 연변부에 대한 신생대 지질구조 및 지구조 진화과정을 연구하였다. 대한해협 하부 기반암에는 일련의 정단층들이 북동-남서 방향으로 발달해 있다. 정단층들은 울릉분지가 초기 리프팅 및 확장의 신장성 지구조운동 동안 형성된 것으로 해석된다. 쓰시마단층대가 대한해협과 쓰시마해협의 경계를 이루며 쓰시마 섬 서측 연안에서 울릉분지 중심부를 향해 북동남서 방향으로 발달했다. 쓰시마해협의 중기 마이오세 및 고기 퇴적층은 압축성 지구조운동에 의한 북동-남서 방향의 습곡 및 단층구조들이 우세하게 발달해 있다. 후기 마이오세에서 제4기 퇴적층은 거의 지층변형을 받지 않았으나, 쓰시마해협에는 동-서 방향의 단층구조들이 우세하게 발달해 있다. 초기 울룽분지는 올리고세의 리프팅에 의해 형성되었으며, 이어서 초기 마이오세 부터 중기 마이오세 초기까지 확장운동과 침강이 활발하게 진행되었다. 이 때 서남 일본지괴는 한반도로부터 분리되어 남동방향으로 이동하였으며, 울릉분지는 발산성 우수주향이동 신장운동을 받으며 인리형 분지(pull-apart basin)를 형성한다. 쓰시마단층대는 한반도와 서남 일본지괴를 분리시키는 주 구조선으로서, 서남 일본진괴가 남동쪽으로 이동할 때 정단층과 함께 우수주향이동 운동을 한다. 중기 마이오세 중기에서 후기 마이오세 초기 동안 울릉분지 남쪽 연변부는 열개운동이 중단되고 압축성 지구조운동에 의한 지층의 융기작용이 일어난다. 서남 일본지괴의 한반도쪽으로의 수렴운동은 울릉분지의 남쪽 연변부에 대해 압축응력을 미쳤으며, 이는 곧 수렴성 좌수 주향이동에 의한 지층의 압축변형을 야기한다. 쓰시마 단층대는 트러스트단층과 함께 좌수 주향이동 단층운동을 한다. 후기 마이오세 중기에서 현재동안 울릉분지 남쪽 연변부는 압축성 지구조 운동의 지배를 받는다. 쓰시마 단층대는 압축응력을 받아 트러스트단층 운동이 일어난다.

  • 서해 대륙붕 군산분지 까치-1공의 퇴적층을 통합층서적 접근을 통하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 까치-1공 내에서 (1)트라이아스기 돌로마이트 기반암층, (2) 후기 쥬라기 말-전기 백악기 초 퇴적층, (3) 전기 백악기 퇴적층, (4) 후기 백악기 퇴적층 및 (5) 중기 마이오세 이후 퇴적층 등 5개의 단위층들이 인지되었다. 각 단위층은 부정합에 의해 경계되는 구조층서 단위층으로 군산분지의 형성, 퇴적 및 변형에 대한 정보를 제공해 준다. 후기 쥬라기 말에 들어와 탄루탄층대를 따라 이차 및 삼차 순위의 주향이동 단층들이 분지되면서 소규모 열개 분지들이 형성되기 시작하였다. 전기 백악기 이후 팔레오세 말까지 지속된 분지단층들의 좌수향 이동에 의해 군산분지는 대규모의 인장력을 받게 되어 소규모 열개 분지들은 대규모의 인리형 분지로 확장되었다. 그러나 팔레오세 말에 시작된 인도판과 유라시아판의 연성충돌에 의한 1차 히말라야 조산운동의 영향으로 탄루단층이 우수향으로 이동을 시작하면서 군산분지는 서서히 변형을 받기 시작하였다. 이후 에오세 중기에 일어났던 인도판과 유라시아판의 강성충돌에 의한 2차 히말라야 조산운동에 의해 탄루단층의 우수향 이동이 본격화되면서 군산분지는 극심한 구조역전의 현상이 일어났다. 따라서 에오세 말과 올리고세 동안 군산분지에서는 심한 구조역전에 의한 분지변형이 일어났다. 올리고세 이후 현재까지, 군산분지는 간헐적인 해침과 함께 광역적인 침강을 유지하면서 안정된 대륙 연변부 침강분지로 전이되었다.

  • The focal mechanisms of the earthquakes occurred in 2001 and 2002 are analyzed to understand the regional stress and tectonics in and around Korean Peninsula. The forty -three fault plane solutions are derived using the polarities of first arrival P-waves recorded at KIGAM, Bmh and KEPRI stations. The result suggest that thrust motion with significant amount of strike slip component is dominant mode of faulting. The larger population of mechanism is characterized by WNW-ESE striking nodal planes. NE-SW direction is interpreted as dominant compressional axis orientation of stress field. These solutions are similar to those of medium size earthquakes studied previously, which is known as typical regional tectonic stress orientation in and around Korean Peninsula.

  • We interpreted marine seismic profiles in conjunction with swath bathymetric and magnetic data to investigate rifting to breakup processes at the eastern Korean margin that led to the separation of the southwestern Japan Arc. Analysis of rift fault patterns suggests that rifting at the Korean margin was primarily controlled by normal faulting resulting from extension rather than strike-slip deformation. Two extension directions of E-W and NW-SE for rifting are recognized. We interpret that the E-W direction represents initial rifting at the inner margin and the NW-SE direction probably represents the extension in response to tensional tectonics associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate in the NW direction. No significant volcanism was involved in rifting. In contrast, the inception of sea floor spreading documents a pronounced volcanic phase which appears to reflect asthenospheric upwelling as well as rift-induced convection particularly in the narrow southern margin. We suggest that structural and igneous evolution of the Korean margin, although it is in a back-arc setting, can be explained by the processes occurring at the passive continental margin with magmatism influenced by asthenospheric upwelling.
