Abstract
Along the Ulsan Fault System, many Quaternary faults have been reported and investigated with outcrop observation and trench excavation to clarify the neotectonic movements and fault parameters such as length, displacement, slip rate and recurrence interval. In the northern part of the Ulsan fault system, we have interpreted small scale(1:10,000) aerial photographs and extracted lineaments by geomophological features to select trench site. After precise field survey and tracing for lineaments, two trench sites at Galgokri, Gyeongju were selected on the lineament to elucidate the fault movement history. One is successful in finding faults but the other is not. In the Galgok-Chisil trench(3m(w) x 1.5m(d) x 10m(l)), very closed two Quaternary faults cut the alluvial deposits of which age shows about 10-3ka. More than three times of fault movements can be inferred by geologic structures and C-14 dating. Repeatedly fault movements had been occurred before 10 ka, between 10ka-4.9 ka, between 4.9-1.4 ka at Galgok-Chisil trench section.
