초록

대륙지각으로부터 해양지각으로의 지각특성 변화가 나타나는 동해연안 해저에서 발생하는 미소지진의 위치를 JHD (Joint Hypocenter Determination) 방법을 사용하여 정밀 재결정하였다. 기상청 국가지진관측망의 지진관측 능력을 충분히 활용하고 지진발생위치 결정에 사용되는 지진의 수를 충분히 확보하기 위하여 연속지진자료를 점검하여, 20 km ${\times}$ 20 km의 연구지역에서 발생하는 56개의 미소지진 자료를 확보하였다. 우선 일반적으로 사용되는 단일진원인자 결정 방법으로 지진의 발생위치를 결정하였으며, 이 결과만으로는 연구지역 해저에 존재하는 해저 구조를 밝혀내기에 충분치 않다. 그러나 JHD 방법을 적용하면, 지진의 발생위치는 공간적 군을 형성하고 지진 발생의 원인이 되는 4개의 단층을 구체적으로 표시한다. 이들 4개의 단층은 2개의 수직으로 분포하는 진원위치와 2개의 가파르게 남쪽으로 경사져서 분포하는 진원위치로 표시된다.

A cluster of micro-earthquakes in the transition zone between the continental and oceanic crust in the East Sea was relocated using the Joint Hypocenter Determination (JHD) method. In order to increase the number of available earthquakes and to take advantage of the high detection capability of the Korea National Seismic Network (KNSN), continuously recorded seismic data were reviewed to identify 56 micro-earthquakes occurring in a 20 km ${\times}$ 20 km region. The initial earthquake hypocenters were determined using a routine single event location method. Single event locations do not reveal any significant structures in the study area. After relocating the earthquake hypocenters using the JHD technique, the earthquakes were clustered and four potential faults responsible for earthquake generation in the subsurface were delineated. They are defined by two sub-vertical and two steeply south-dipping seismicities located next to each other.
