초록
본 연구는 경남 밀양시 천황산 북사면상에 분포하는 얼음골 일대를 대상으로 얼음골의 형성원인을 개괄하였으며, 얼음골에서 특히 잘 발달하고 있는 talus에 대해서 형태적, 성인적, 지형발달사적 특성을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 깊고 넓은 곡저를 가지는 얼음물의 경우 그것의 형성원인은 (1) 특이한 관입구조(다량의 응회암 포함) 또는 (2) 관입이나 분출 이후 냉각 수축과정에서 야기된 함몰와지의 형성으로 인한 지형적 특성으로 추정되나 분명하지는 않다. 둘째, talus의 형태적 특성은 외양이 설상 또는 원추상, 사면경사 $32^{\circ}$ 이상으로 일반적인 경향을 보이지만 talus의 분포밀도는 매우 높다. 세째, talus는 최종빙기 동안의 주빙하적 기후환경하에서 형성되었으며, 그것의 유형은 rock fall talus에 해당된다. 네째, talus의 지형발달단계는 현재 사지형화단계이며 바람이나 유수에 의한 세립물질의 선택적 집적이 있는 곳에서는 식생이 정착하여 식생 피복지가 점차 증가하고 있다.
The aim of this paper is to clarify geomorphic features on talus within ${\check{O}}rumkol$ and the origin of ${\check{O}}rumkol$. ${\check{O}}rumkol$ is located in Milyang of Kyungnam province, in South Korea. ${\check{O}}rumkol$ is good area to study talus. because it is characterized by following three geomorphic landscapes : free face surrounding ${\check{O}}rumkol$ ; ${\check{O}}rumkol$ with deep and wide valley floor ; lots of taluses typically developing within ${\check{O}}rumkol$. The main results can be summarized as follows: 1) The origin of ${\check{O}}rumkol$ may be suggested two assumptions : one is that its origin have been resulted from intrusion structure(intrusive rock might capture less resistant rock as tuff) ; the other is that its origin have been resulted from volcanic depression after intrusion or eruption. But these assumptions are not obvious. therefore more geological evidences will be supplemented after this 2) The characteristics of ${\check{O}}rumkol$ talus (1) Pattern ${\check{O}}rumkol$ taluses are tongue-shaped or cone-shaped in appearance. They are $50{\sim}200m$ in length and the range of the maximum width from 25 to 115m and one of their mean slope gradient from 32 to $36^{\circ}$ (2) Origin ${\check{O}}rumkol$ taluses have been formed under periglacial environment in the last glacial age and they are classified into rock fall talus type, considering in conjunction with the shape, hardness, sorting, weathering conditions of constituent debris. (3) The stage of landform development ${\check{O}}rumkol$ talus slope profiles are mainly concave slope. This concave slope type was eventually caused by talus creep at the lower end of the talus. That means new additions of debris from the free face have virtually ceased and there is no evidence of recent motion in the deposit. Now it is predominant that vegetation cover is gradually increasingly. Therefore ${\check{O}}rumkol$ taluses appear to be relict form stage. at present.
