Abstract

To analyze the crustal velocity structures beneath 21 broadband seismic stations in Gangwon Province, South Korea, we first applied the H-κ stacking method to 139 teleseismic event data (Mw ≥ 5.8 and the epicentral distance of 30° - 90°) occurring between March 18, 2019 and December 31, 2022 to estimate the Moho depths and Vp/Vs ratios beneath each station. The Moho depths and Vp/Vs ratios from the H-κ stacking method range from 24.9 to 33.2 km depth and 1.695 - 1.760, respectively, and the estimated Vp/Vs ratios were applied to the joint inversion of receiver functions and surface wave dispersion to obtain 1-D crustal velocity models beneath each station. The resulting Moho depths range from 25.9 to 33.7 km depth, similar to the results from the H-κ stacking method. Moho depth results from the both methods are generally consistent with Airy's isostasy. The 1-D crustal velocity models confirm that the existence of 2 km thick low-velocity layers with P-wave velocities of 5 km/s or less at some stations in the Taebaeksan basin, and at the stations CHNB and GAPB in northern Gangwon Province, which are located above the Cenozoic sedimentary layer. The station SH2B, although not overlying a sedimentary layer, has a low P-wave velocity near the surface, which is probably due to various factors such as weathering of the bedrock. We also observe a velocity inversion with decreasing velocity with depth at all stations within 4 - 12 km depths, and mid-crustal discontinuities possibly due to density differences in the rocks at around 10 km depth below some stations.

강원도 지역과 그 주변에 설치된 21개의 광대역 지진관측소 하부에 대한 지각속도구조를 분석하기 위해 2019년 3월 18일부터 2022년 12월 31일 사이에 발생한 139개 원거리 지진자료(Mw ≥ 5.8, 진앙거리 30° - 90°)에 H-κ 중합법을 적용하여 각 관측소 하부에서의 모호면 깊이와 Vp/Vs 비를 추정하였다. H-κ 중합법으로 추정한 모호면 깊이는 24.9 - 33.2 km, Vp/Vs 비는 1.695 - 1.760으로 나타났으며, 추정한 Vp/Vs 비를 수신함수와 표면파 분산의 연합 역산에 적용하여 각 관측소 하부에 대한 1차원 지각속도 모델을 획득하였다. 이에 따른 모호면 깊이는 25.9 - 33.7 km로 H-κ 중합법과 유사한 결과를 보여주었고, 두 방법의 모호면 깊이 결과는 에어리의 지각평형설을 대체적으로 따르는 일치된 양상을 보인다. 1차원 지각속도 모델 해석 결과 태백산 분지에 위치한 일부 관측소의 직하부에서 P파 속도 5 km/s 이하의 저속도층이 2 km 두께로 존재함을 확인하였으며, 강원도 북부에 위치한 CHNB, GAPB 관측소도 같은 결과를 보이는데 이 관측소들은 신생대에 생성된 퇴적층 위에 위치하고 있다. SH2B 관측소는 퇴적층 위에 위치하지 않음에도 불구하고 표층의 P파 속도가 낮게 나왔으며, 이는 기반암의 풍화와 같은 여러 요인으로 인한 것으로 보인다. 계산된 1차원 모델들을 살펴볼 때 모든 관측소의 4 - 12 km 깊이 사이에서 깊어짐에 따라 속도가 감소되는 속도역전층이 관측되었고, 이중 일부 관측소의 하부 10 km 부근에서 암석의 밀도차로 인한 것으로 여겨지는 중간지각 불연속면이 나타났다.
