Abstract

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 first arrival times. One-dimensional velocity models derived by joint analyses of teleseismic receiver functions and surface wave dispersion at several stations near the profiles were uesd to build initial models. The raypaths indicate several midcrust interfaces including ones at approximate depths of 2.0 and 14.9 km with refraction velocities of approximately 6.0 and 7.1 km/s, respectively. The deepest significant interface varies in depth from 30.8 km to 36.1 km. The critically refracting velocity varies from 7.8 to 8.1 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 6-7 km depth under the Okchon fold belt, (2) extension of the Yeongdon fault down to greater than 10 km, and (3) existence of high-velocity materials under the Gyeongsan basin whose thickness is less than 4.2 km.

한반도 남부 지각 속도구조를 밝히기 위해서, 서북서-동남동 방향의 2002년도 측선 294 km와 북북서-남남동 방향의 2004년도 측선 335 km를 따라 인공적으로 발생시킨 지진파 자료를 각각 120초와 150초 기록하였다. 초동주시 역산과정을 통하여 속도단면을 작성하였으며, 역산 시 초기모델은 측선 주변의 고정관측소에서 기록한 원거리 지진자료의 수신함수역산으로 구한 1차원 속도구조자료를 활용하였다. 파선경로는 2.0 km와 7.1 km 깊이에 속도 6.0 km/s와 7.1 km/s를 갖는 굴절면이 존재하며, 굴절파 속도 7.8∼8.1 km/s의 모호면은 30.8∼36.1 km 깊이에 존재함을 보인다. 속도단면은 옥천계 하부 6∼7 km 깊이에 상당한 규모의 저속도층이 15 km 깊이의 속도 불연속면 상부에 존재하며, 영동단층은 10 km 이상 깊이까지 연장되어 있고, 최대 4.2 km 정도두께를 갖는 경상분지 하부에 고속도층이 얕게 분포하는 것으로 분석된다.
