Abstract

Longitudinal profiles of bedrock rivers play a fundamental role in landscape history by setting the boundary conditions for landform evolution. Longitudinal profiles are changed with climatic conditions, lithology and tectonic movements. Tectonic movement is an important factor controlling longitudinal profiles, especially in tectonically active area where uplift rates are regarded as a major factor controlling channel gradient. However study on bedrock channel has made little progress, because controls over bedrock river incision are yet to be clarified. Previous numerical simulations have used a simple diffusion model, which links together the overall processes of bedrock channel erosion as in other landform evolution models. In this study, previous bedrock incision models based on physical processes (especially abrasion) are reviewed and new modifications are introduced. Using newly formulated numerical model, the role of spatial pattern and intensity of tectonic uplift on changes in river longitudinal profile was simulated and discussed.

기반암 하상 하천의 종단 곡선은 지형 경관 발달의 기본 조건을 형성함으로서 경관 변화에 강력한 영향을 행사한다. 하천 종단 곡선은 기후 환경 조건의 변화, 기반암의 물리 화학적 특성, 지각 운동과 같은 변수들에 의해서 그 형태의 변화를 경험하게 된다. 특히 지각 운동의 시 공간적 양상은 지각 운동이 활발한 혹은 활발했던 것으로 알려진 지역에서 종단곡선에 강력한 영향력을 행사하는 것으로 추론되어 왔다. 그러나, 현재까지의 기반암 하상 하천에 대한 연구는 기반암 하상 하천의 침식 작용을 통제하는 변수들에 대한 이해의 부족으로 답보상태를 면하지 못하여 왔다. 현대 지형학의 주요 연구 기법인 컴퓨터를 이용한 지형 발달 시뮬레이션은 지형 발달의 단계들을 파악하는데 유용한 연구 도구로 환용 되어 왔으나. 기반암 하상 하천의 경우 그 이해의 부족으로 인하여 광범위한 응용이 가능한 모형의 마련에 어려움을 겪어 왔다. 그 결과 기존의 연구들은 단순한 확산 모형을 침식의 기본 모형으로 이용했다. 본 고 에서는 물리적 침식과정에 기반한 기반암 침식 모형들을 검토 수정한 새로운 모형을 소개하고 해당 모형을 이용하여 지각운동의 시 공간적 분포와 강도가 하천 종단 곡선에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션을 통해 모사하고 논의하였다.
