Recent disputes on mountain ranges in Korea have partially been derived from the discordance of the spatial distribution and the extent of mountain ranges presented by different researchers and school textbooks. The lack of consensus on the definition and genesis of mountain ranges adds further confusion. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to provide genetically classified mountain range maps for different usages, map scales and educational purposes. This paper first argues that mountain ranges and mountain ridges should separately be used as different conceptual frameworks to explain complex spatial distribution of mountains in Korea. The new mountain range map (sanmaekdo) proposed in this research puts strong emphasis on tectonic movement and denudational processes to explain the spatial distribution of mountains. The new mountain range map has 15 mountain ranges (sanmaek: in total, which are further divided into 7 primary and 8 secondary mountain ranges. The new mountain range map eliminates Jeogyuryeongsanmaek, Myohyangsanmaek, Myeoraksanmaek, and Masingnyeongsanmaek from the existing map, since these have a vague definition and obscure spatial distribution. On the contrary, few new primary mountain ranges (Gilju-Myeongcheonsanmaek, Yangsansanmaek, Jirisanmaek) and secondary mountain ranges (Wolchulsanmaek and Buksubaeksanmaek) are added to the new mountain range map. Other mountain ranges also show a large difference both in their spatial distribution and the extent of mountain ranges, compared with the previous map. This is especially the case for Nangnimsanmaek, Hamgyeongsanmaek, Taebaeksanmaek, and Sobaeksanmaek. A few new names are also assigned to Macheollyeongsanmaek (Baekdusanmaek), Gwangjusanmaek (Hwaaksanmaek), Charyeongsanmaek (Chiaksanmaek), and Horyeongsanmaek (Naejangsanmaek), even though they show similar spatial distribution patterns with the ones in the existing map.

20세기 초에 고토가 설정한 우리나라의 산맥체계는 지질학적 증거의 뒷받팀이 부족했다. 그후 일본 지질학자들은 그의 산맥체계에 수정을 가하게 되었으나, 수정은 그가 설정한 틀의 범위내에서 이루어졌다. 중.고등학교 지리교과서의 산맥지도가 보여주는 산맥에는 두 종류가 있다. 하나는 지반의 융기에 의해 형성된 태백.소백.낭림.함경산맥으로 산세가 웅장하고 산줄기가 분명하며, 한반도의 골격을 이루고 있다. 다른 하나는 태백.낭림의 척량산맥에서 서해안까지 길게 뻗어내린 갈비뼈 모양의 산맥들이다. 중국방향 및 랴오뚱방향의 이들 산맥은 경동지형의 고위평탄면이 해체되는 과정에서 형성된 것으로 연속성이 약하고 구간에 따라서는 확인하기 어려우며, 처음부터 잘못 설정된 거이다. 산맥지도는 산지의 분포를 보여주는 것인데. 척량산맥 서쪽에는 이들 산맥과 관계없이 분포하는 산지가 오히려 더 많다. 산맥지도에는 하천도 그려져 있으나 하천은 산맥에 가려서 잘 드러나지 않는다. 갈비뼈모양의 산맥을 아예 없애고 그 대신 하천을 뚜렷하게 그려 넣어도 훌륭한 지도가 만들어진다. 하천은 오늘날 수자원으로서 매우 중요하다.

Mountains have significant influences on the atmospheric environment. The Korean Peninsula consists of approximately 70% mountainous area with numerous mountain ranges and peaks. The initial classification of mountains in Korea was made by a Japanese scientist from 1900 to 1902. In fact, the Japanese study created too many names of mountains to maintain, which led to confusions. The purpose of this study aims to simplify the previous names and classification of mountains in the Korean Peninsula so that they can be utilized for educational and general purpose of the society and educational institutions. Through this study, we name various mountains as one name "Korea Mountains" which is classified as the secondary world-mountain class stretching from the Korean Peninsula to northeast China (southern Manchuria). The Korea Mountains connect the third class regional medium-scale mountains of Jirin, Hamkyoung, Taebaek, and the fourth mountain class, 8 small-scale ranges including the Liaoning, Yaenbaen, Hambeuk, Pyoungbeuk, Whanghae, Charyoung, Kyoungsang and Namhae Mountains. The major mountains in the Korean Peninsula are normally influenced by the general circulation of the atmosphere of the world. The atmospheric conditions are modified on the up-stream and down-stream sides; there is a need for continuous monitoring of the atmospheric environment which impacts the ecosystem and human society.

In recent years, there are some confusions related to the definition and existence of mountain ranges, which have been described in current geography text books. We contend that these confusions came from the lack of understanding on the geomorphological processes that form the mountain system in Korea. This research attempts to clarify the definition of mountain ranges and offer geological and geomorphological explanations about the formation of them. Based on the analyses of the social and cultural causes underlying the recent debates on the existence of mountain ranges, we tried to identify the relationships among the definition of mountain ranges, geological structure of Korea, and the forming processes of mountain ranges. The current and past mountain range maps were compared with geological structures, geological maps, surface curvature, and hill shade maps. The latter two maps were derived from a Digital Elevation Model of the Korean Peninsular. The results show that we are able to prove the existence of most mountain ranges, which provides a useful framework to understand the geological evolution of Korean peninsular and formation of mountainous landscape of Korea. In terms of their morphological continuity and genesis, however, we identified five different categories of mountain ranges: 1) Uplift mountain ranges(Hamkyeong Sanmaek, Nangrim Sanmaek, Taebaek Sanmaek), which were formed by the uplift processes of the Korean Peninsular during the Tertiary; 2) Falut mountain ranges(Macheonryeong Sanmaek, Sobaek Sanmaek, Buksubaek Sanmaek), whirh were directly related to the uplift processes of the Korean Peninsular during the Tertiary; 3) Trust mountain ranges(Jekyouryeong Sanmaek, Kwangju Sanmaek, Charyeong Sanmaek, Noryeong Sanmaek), which were formed by the intrusion of granite and consequent orogenic processes during the Mesozoic era; 4) Drainage divide type mountain ranges, which were formed by the erosion processes after the uplift of Korean Peninsular; 5) Cross-drainage basin type mountain ranges (Kangnam Sanmaek, Eunjin Sanmaek, Myelak sanmaek), which were also formed by the erosion processes, but the mountain ranges cross several drainage basins as connecting mountains laterally We believe that the current social confusions related to the existence of mountain ranges has partly been caused by the vague definition of mountain ranges and the diversity of the forming processes. In order to overcome theses confusions, it is necessary to characterize the types of them according the genesis, the purpose of usages and also the scale of maps which will explains the mountain systems. It is also necessary to provide appropriate educational materials to increase the general public's awareness and understanding of geomorphological processes.

본 연구는 산경표에 기초한 최근 한국 산맥논의를 검토하였다. 산경표는 풍수지리학에 기초를 둔 우리나라 전통 산맥 체계로 분수계 체계이다. 이 체계에 기초를 둔 논의들은 하천이 산맥을 절단하고 있는 것을 받아드리지 못하며, 이 체계의 중심 맥인 백두대간은 많은 기원이 다른 산맥들을 연결하여 이름하고 있다. 지형학에서 산맥은 구조 운동이나 차별 침식의 결과로 형성된 산지의 선적 배열이다. 같은 원인에 의하여 형성된 산지의 선적 배열을 하나의 산맥으로 이름을 부여하고, 형성 원인이 다르거나 방향성이 다른 것을 합쳐서 하나의 산맥으로 이름 하지 않는다. 지형학에서 정의되는 산맥은 선행 하천에 의해 절단될 수 있고, 분수계 이동 현상도 일어나기 때문에 산맥이 분수계와 일치하는 것은 아니다. 따라서 백두대간이란 이름은 우리나라의 상징성을 표현할 때 사용하고, 교과서에서는 우리나라의 지형을 설명할 때는 기존의 산맥체계를 사용해야 할 것으로 본다.

본역의 Karst Terrain은 태백산맥 준령의 서록상에 위치하여 있으므로 한반도에 분포하는 Karst Terrain 중 고도가 가장 높은 것이다. 그 해발고도는 700m 내외이다. 백복령(833m) 생계령(826m) 자병산(871m) 등은 본역의 태백산맥 준령상에 있다. Karst Terrain이 분포하는 태백산맥 준령의 서측은 완만한 경사의 지형을 이루나 그의 동측은 급경사를 이루어 Karst 제현상의 형성과 발달과정에 매우 특이한 양상을 보여준다.(중략)

The hydrocarbon source rock potential of the Eocene units in the southern Oregon Coast Range was evaluated by using the Rock-Eval pyrolysis. Most Eocene units in southern Oregon Coast Range are thermally immature and contain lean, gas-prone Type III kerogen. However, some beds(coals) are sufficiently organic-rich to be sources of biogenic and thermogenic methane discovered in numerous seeps. The overall hydrocarbon source rock potential of the southern Oregon Coast Range is moderately low. Several requirements for commercial accumulations of hydrocarbon, however, probably exist locally within and adjacent areas. Three speculative petroleum systems are identified. The first includes the southern part of the Oregon Coast Range near the border with the Mesozoic Klamath Mountains and is related to a proposed subduction zone maturation mechanism along thrust faults. The second is centered in the northern part of the range and may be associated with basin-centered gas in an over-pressured zone. The third occurs near the eastern border of the range where maturation is related heating by sills and migration of hydrothermal fluids associated with mid-Tertiary volcanism in the Western cascade arc.

본 논문은 한국산 박새(Parus major)의 소리(song)를 이용해서 태백산맥을 경계로 동서간의 지리적 변이에 관한 논문이다. 박새 소리의 지리적인 변이를 알아보기 위하여 지역간 음절의 시간과 주파수 요인을 비교하고, factor의 군집화의 지역간의 변이정도를 알아보기 위하여 Cluster Analysis와 discriminant Analysis를 실시하였다. 그 결과 태백산맥을 경계로 동쪽지역여과 서쪽지역은 영덕군과 청송군, 삼척시와 태백시를 중심으로 해서 지리적인 변이를 나타냈다.
