초록

한반도의 지진들은 주로 중생대에 반도에서 발생한 격렬한 지각변동으로 생성된 단층 및 깨어진 주요 지질구조의 경계에서 발생한다. 이 지진들은 Eurasian plate와 충돌하는 인접한 Indian plate와 Pacific plate 및 Philippine plate에 의한 E-W 내지 ENE-SSW 방향의 압축력장에서 반도 내의 주로 NNE-SSW 방향의 활성단층들이 깨어지며 발생하며 주향성분이 우세한 역단층의 메커니즘을 갖는다. 한반도의 지진활동은 지난 20세기 동안 15~18세기의 이례적으로 높은 기간을 제외하고는 비교적 낮거나 중간수준이며 이는 판내부 지진활동의 전형적인 불규칙한 양상을 보여준다. 한반도의 지각구조는 상부지각과 하부지각을 뚜렷하게 구분하는 Conrad 면이 없는 대체로 균질한 지각이며 수평적 불균질성은 존재한다. 지각의 평균 두께는 33 km 정도이며 Airy 형의 지각균형을 이루고 있어 산악지방이 평야지역에 비하여 지각의 두께가 더 크다. P파의 속도는 지표 부근에서 Moho 면까지 점진적으로 증가하며 평균은 대략 6.3 km/sec이다. 상부맨틀의 P파(Pn)의 속도는 대략 7.8 km/sec이다.

Earthquakes in the Korean Peninsula occur along the faults formed and boundaries between major geological units ruptured due to violent tectonic activities during the Mesozoic. E-W and/or ENE-SSW compressive stress regime resulting from collisions between the Eurasian plate and neighbouring the Indian plate, the Pacific plate and the Philippine plate trigger Korean earthquakes of thrust faulting with predominant strike-slip components along the mostly NNE-SSW trending active faults. Seismicity of the Korean peninsula has been moderate to low during the past 20 centuries except for the period from the 15th to the 18th centuries of exceptionally high seismicity, showing the typical irregularity of intraplate seismicity. The structure of the Korean peninsula is rather homogeneous without the Conrad discontinuity sharply dividing the upper and lower crust. Lateral heterogeneities exist in the crust. The crust with an average thickness of about 33 km is thicker in the mountainous region than the plain due to the Airy-type isostatic equilibrium maintained in the peninsula. Crustal P-wave velocity with average of about 6.3 km/sec increases gradually from the near surface to the Moho. The upper mantle P-wave (Pn) velocity is about 7.8 km/sec.
