Abstract

Redefining the difference among the Yamaguchi's 'so-called Yeoncheon system,' north Korean's 'Rimjin System' and Yeoncheon Group of national geological map, authors tried to avoid a possible misunderstanding of concept between Yeoncheon Group and Imjingang fold Belt. As a tool of preliminary geological mapping and or N-S reconnaissance of the whole Yeoncheon Group, an interpretation technique of satellite image from various angles has been applied to understand the geometrical attitude of strike and dip of random spot, and a further concept like as cross section.

야마구찌의 '소위 연천계,' 북한의 '림진계,' 국토기본지질도상의 연천층군 간의 차이점에 대한 재정의를 통하여 연천층군과 임진강습곡대의 의미를 올바르게 인식하고자 한다. 연천층군의 남-북간 전체지역에 대한 개략조사 단계로 (북한에 속해있는) 임의의 지역에 대한 지층의 지질구조 인자를 이해하기 위해 여러 각도에서 관찰하여 단면도를 인지하는 위성영상 판독방법이 활용되었다.
