초록

한국의 원자력발전소 부근에서 발생한 최근 지진으로 한반도 남동부에 위치한 울산단층대의 지진활동에 사회적 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이 단층대의 지하구조를 규명하기 위하여, 울산시 북쪽의 동천강 계곡에서 고분해능 탄성파 굴절법 및 반사법 탐사와 조밀한 간격의 중력탐사를 실시하였다. 이 지역에는 폭 약 1 km인 계곡 내의 충적층 하부에 단층대가 남북방향으로 놓여있다. 24채널 탄성파 굴절법 및 반사법 자료는 타격점과 수신점이 공히 5 m 간격으로, 길이 835 m와 415 m인 두 측선을 따라 기록하였다. 중력도 이 두 측선을 따라 10 m 간격으로 131점에서 측정하였다. 탄성파 굴절법 자료, 고분해능 반사법 자료, 중력 측정자료 등을 이용한 종합적 해석은 이 울산단층대가 백악기에 겉보기 남북방향의 주향이동 운동으로 형성되었고, 어떤 단층들은 신생대 3기 혹은 4기에 동서방향의 압축응력에 의하여 재활성되었을 가능성을 지시한다.

Recent earthquakes near nuclear power plants in Korea have triggered public concerns about possible seismicity of the Ulsan Fault Zone in the south-eastern part of the Korean peninsula. To reveal subsurface structures of this fault zone, we conducted high-resolution seismic refraction and reflection surveys, and closely spaced gravity measurements in the Dongchon River valley north of Ulsan, Korea. Here alluvium covers the north-south trending fault zone in a 1-km wide valley. Both source points and receivers were spaced at 5-m intervals for the 24-channel seismic refraction and reflection methods, along two profiles of 835 m and 415 m length. Gravity data were also measured along these profiles at 131 stations using a 10-m interval. Synergetic interpretation of seismic refraction, high-resolution seismic reflection, and gravity surveys across the valley indicates that the Ulsan Fault Zone was formed by apparent north-south strike-slip motions during the Cretaceous, and that some faults may have been reactivated by east-west compressional or transpressional stresses during the Tertiary or Quaternary.
