The region is composed of Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks; andesites and granites, It is clarified by the writers that most formations ever known as andesites are not igneous origin but hornfelsic sedimentary rocks. Refering to this fact, broad areas in the south-eastern part of the Kyeong-Sang Namdo which are colored as andesites in the geologic maps scale 1/50,000, published by Geological Survey of Korea should be rechecked. In this area, four granite plutons are isolated by the hornfelsic sedimentary formation, andesites and alluvium. Each plutons are zoned by the lithological facies.

Electromagnetic and electric surveys were performed to reveal the deep structure of the Yangsan fault in the Bong-gye and Unyang areas, Kyeongnam Province, Korea. Especially, high-frequency magnetotelluric (HFMT) method of EM survey was mainly employed to study the deep subsurface configuration of Yangsan fault. HFMT survey was performed at 25 points of spacing 50 m, making 1.3 km survey line in Unyang area and 13 points of spacing 50 m, making 0.6 km survey line in Bong-gye area. Two 2-D cross-sections (Unyang and Bong-gye areas) were achieved as results. Electric survey by dipole-dipole array was performed to study the structure of shallow subsurface and compare the results with HFMT surveys. The results of HFMT and electric surveys show that Yangsan fault is a geologic boundary. It is very narrow and steep (about $80^{\circ}C$), and extends to 1~1.5 km depth.

The study area consists of sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Gyeongsang Supergroup, granitoid intrusives, and hornfelses around the granitoids. Granitoid intrusives occur in small stocks in Nijeon-ri, Uggogri, and Yul-ri area. The masses in Nijeon-ri and Uggog-ri are hornblende-biotite granodiorite, biotite granodiorite respectively, and Yul-ri mass is biotite granite. Surrounding sediments of these masses were thermally metamorphosed and contact aureoles were formed. The studied granitoids are considered to be formed by sequential crystallization-differentiation from calc-alkalic granitoid magma. Metamorphic minerals occurring in contact aureole are chlorite, actinolite, epidote, and biotite. Diopside and hornblende are observed in small amount in some lithology around contact aureole. The lithology of contact aureole is predominantly silty and sandy, and characteristic metamorphic minerals were poorly developed because of low temperature metamorphism. Low temperature in contact aureole could be deduced from the facts that the intrusions were small size, shallow depth, low temperature, and rare movement of volatiles from magma.

Ground magnetic surveys were conducted at four areas where the Yangsan fault, the most prominent lineament in the Kyeongsang basin, appears to be passed through. For data processing, IGRF correction, upward continuation and reduction-to-the-pole were performed. The automatic inversion by using a matrix computation method, which takes the depth to bottom layer of the horizontal two layer structure as the model parameter, has been attempted to delineate the subsurface structure. Upward continuation of the surface magnetic map to the same level of the aeromagnetic survey (KIER, 1989) resulted in very similiar patterns to those of aeromagnetic data. Subsurface modeling of eight profile data show that the strike and dip of the Yangsan fault in study areas are $N6^{\circ}-15^{\circ}E$, and near vertical to somewhat eastward, repectively, despite of the local lithological contrast of each study area. It seems that the magnetic effect of faulting in the study area 1, which locates in the most northern part of the survey areas, is disturbed by that of igneous intrusion. At study area 2, the possibility of volcanic or igneous intrusion, which is 200-300 meters wide along the fault plane was presented. At study area 3, unlike other study areas, distinct fracture zone of 500-700 meters in width was revealed along the surface fault line. The andesitic rocks of the study area 4 have very high susceptibilities and the fault line on surface of this area was shifted about 500 meter eastward, as compared with the inferred fault line by the previous study.

Granitic rocks, from the Eonyang and the northwestern part of Ulsan area, were mainly studied from the petrochemical point of view. From field work, microscopic observation and the result of K-Ar ages, these granitic rocks are divided into six rock types of a, b, c, d, e and e', of which modal composition are given. Type a, c, e and e' are mainly granodiorite, type b is adamellite, and type d is granodiorite, adamellite and others (porphyritic rock, porphyry and felsitic rocks). Bulk chemical analyses of 22 samples of the granitic rocks are given. The petrographical and petrochemical characteristics of these rocks are discussed briefly. In the petrochemical compositions with their characteristic variation trends of several oxides and norm Or-Ab-An triangular diagram, type a, b and c show some similarity to that of San-yo granite of Japan and younger granite of Ogcheon geosynclinal zone, and then, type e and e', to San-in granite of Japan. But, some of granitic rock samples of type d are similar to San-yo granite and the others of type d to San-in granite because this type is composed of porphyritic rock, porphyry and felsitic rocks. According to the result of K-Ar ages (1976, Lee et al.) of rock samples from type a, b and care Cretaceous, on the otherwise, type d, e and e', are Tertiary granitic rocks. Judging from these evidences, granitic rocks in the area are correlated to the Cretaceous and Tertiary granitic rocks in the, southwestern Japan, that is, type a, band c are correlated to San-yo granite, and type d, e and e' to San-in granite.

Gyeongsang Basin in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsular is characterized by many fault systems. To decipher the geotectonical evolution of the Korean peninsular and marginal basins in her adjacent areas it is prerequisite to understand the spatial distribution pattern and mutual relationships of these fault systems. Because of difficulties in finding any criterion to recognize the faults in field, their extension and mutual relationships in ages are not very clear yet. As an attempt to find geophysical criteria to recognize the fault, geoelectrical resistivity survey was carried out in this study. With the Wenner configuration four resistivity soundings and twenty seven resistivity profilings were done. The electrode distance used was up to 50m. From the results of the resistivity soundings and boring data of earlier groundwater investigations the depth of alluvial and weathered zone was established to be at most 20m in the study area. In the resistivity profiling low resistivity anomaly zones are detected on every traverse, which are interpreted as caused by fractures, fault clays and mylonites in the fault zone. The width of the fault zone amounts to 0.3-1km. By correlating and connecting the negative anomaly zones from traverse to traverse one can determine the trend of th of the faultzone and therefore that of fault itself. The recognized fault trend in this way was $N15^{\circ}-20^{\circ}E$ and this coincides with the direction of the inferred fault line from earlier geological surface mapping. With the help of this characteristical negative anomaly the existance of another $N80^{\circ}W$ trending fault was estabished. This study has shown that geoelectrical resistivity survey can be applied successfully to the problem of tracing fault line insofar as a fault zone has been developed along fault line.

The paleoseismological study in Korea has begun along the Yangsan fault zone (YFZ) and Ulsan fault zone (UFZ) since 1994. Some evidences related to late Quaternary movement are found at only some part of the YFZ, such as Pyonghae, Yuge, and Eonyang-Tongdosa areas. However, it is found along the most of the UFZ except the northen and southern ends of the fault. The dominant time span of faulting events along the YFZ and UFZ are quite different, and 500 ka to 200 ka and 300 ka to recent time, respectively. The dominant faulting senses of the YFZ and UFZ are right-lateral strike slip and reverse, respectively. These senses correspond well with the focal mechanism of recent occurring earthquakes along these two fault zones. If we evaluate the intensity of the activity of the YFZ from the average slip rate, which is 0.1~0.04 m/ka, it is comparable with the faults of higher C class in Japan. The slip rate of UFZ, which is 0.2~0.06 m/ka, is comparable with the faults of lower B to higher C class. Based on the relationship between maximum displacement and magnitude, the maximum earthquake magnitude is evaluated to be 6.8 and 7.0 in the YFZ and UFZ, respectively. An intensive studies are needed to clarify the problems such as segmentation of faults, return period, and geological evidences related to historical earthquakes.

The lineament is a linear or curved terrain element to discriminate adjacent geological structures in each other. It has been widely used for analysis of geology, mineral exploration, natural disasters, and earthquake, etc. In the past, the lineament has been extracted using cartographic map or field survey. However, it is possible to extract more efficiently the lineament for a very wide area thanks to development of remote sensing technique. Remotely sensed observation by aircraft, satellite, or digital elevation model (DEM) has been used for visual recognition for manual lineament extraction. Automatic approaches using computer science have been proposed to extract lineament more objectively. In this study, we evaluate the characteristics of lineament which is automatically extracted with respect to difference of spatial resolution of DEM. We utilized two types of DEM: one is Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) with spatial resolution of about 90 m (3 arc sec), and the other is the latest world DEM of TerraSAR-X add-on for Global DEM with 12 m spatial resolution. In addition, a global DEM was resampled to produce a DEM with a spatial resolution of 30 m (1 arc sec). The shaded relief map was constructed considering various sun elevation and solar azimuth angle. In order to extract lineament automatically, we used the LINE module in PCI Geomatica software. We found that predominant direction of the extracted lineament is about $N15-25^{\circ}E$ (NNE), regardless of spatial resolution of DEM. However, more fine and detailed lineament were extracted using higher spatial resolution of DEM. The result shows that the lineament density is proportional to the spatial resolution of DEM. Thus, the DEM with appropriate spatial resolution should be selected according to the purpose of the study.
