한국남동해 대륙붕에서 획득된 고해상탄성파탐사자료의 탄성파층서적 해석에 의하면 본 연구해역의 퇴적층은 서로 다른 4개의 퇴적층, 즉 하부로부터 퇴적층 D,퇴적층 C,퇴적층 B 및 퇴적층 A로 구성된다. 양산단층 연장부의 서쪽에 발달하는 퇴적층 D는 분지가 침강함에 따라 천해환경에서 퇴적된 것이나, 동쪽에 발달하는 것은 사면전면 충진형태로 형성되었다. 퇴적과 동시에 경동조구조운동이 일어나 육지쪽에 발달하는 사면전면 충진 퇴적층은 침식되어 인접한 사면에 퇴적되었다. 이 조구조운동은 울릉분지의 닫힘과 수반되어 일어난 것으로 보인다. 양산단층 연장부의 서쪽에 발달하는 퇴적층 C는 저해수면 하성퇴적물, 해침퇴적물, 그리고 고해수면 해성퇴적물이 겹쳐 쌓여서 형성된 것으로 추측된다. 동쪽에 발달하고 있는 퇴적층 C는 대륙붕단에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석되며, 이러한 작용으로 대륙붕단 외해로 전진하게 되었다. 퇴적층 C가 형성되는 동안에도 경동조구조운동은 계속되었으나, 퇴적층 D가 형성되는 동안에 있었던 것보다는 약하였다. 퇴적층 B가 형성되기 시작하면서 경동조구조운동은 멈추고, 선근원에서 점근원의 퇴적이 일어나기 시작하였다. 연구지역에 발달하는 본 퇴적층은 고해수면퇴적계, 저해수면퇴적계 그리고 해침퇴적계로 구분된다. 고해수면퇴적계는 욕지도주위에 부분적으로 보존되어 있으며, 저해수면퇴적계는 대한해곡에 비교적 잘 발달되어 있다. 해침퇴적계는 욕지도 및 거제도 남쪽앞 바다에 잘 보존되어 있다. 경동조구조운동이 멈추면서, 울릉분지의 닫힘작용에 의한 압축력은 주향단층들에 의해 해소되는 것으로 보인다./투스칼루사(Tuscaloosa) 사암층, 테일러(Taylor) 나바로(Navarro) 사암층과 오스틴(Austin) 백악 및 탄산염암층이 있다. 이 저류암층에 탄화수소를 공급했던 근원암층으로는 경사방향 하부의 셰일층이, 그리고 덮개암층은 경사방향 상부의 계일층이 그 역할을 담당했던 것으로 해석된다. 뗘악기 하부와 상부 퇴적층의 주요 트랩(trap)으로는 완만한 기둥형(pillow)으로부터 복잡한 다이아피어(diapir) 형태의 암염층 관련 배사구조와 하단 단층블록위에 놓여 있으며 롤오버(rollover) 배사구조를 갖는 성장단층이 있다. 투수 장애(permeability barrier), 상부 경사방향으로 첨멸하는 사암체(up-dip pinch-out sand body깥 침식부정합면(unconformity truncation)도. 걸프만 석유부존에 중요한 역할을 한 트랩들이다. 백악기의 주요한 저류암층들은 범세계 해수면곡선의 하강시기와 잘 일치하고 있는데 이는 백악기동안 형성된 걸프만의 퇴적층서가 범세계 해수면곡선을 전반적으로 잘 반영하고 있음을 의미한다. 즉 퇴적작용을 주로 지배하는 세 즌요 변수인 지구조적인 분지의 침강운동,퇴적물의 공급,해수면 변동오그÷중에서 해수면 변동요소가 이 시기동안 가장 중요한 역할을 했음을 의미한다.

The area studied is a southwestern part of Okcheon geosynclinal zone which streches diagonally across the Korean peninsula in the mid-central parts of South Korea, and is bounded by Charyeong mountain chains in the north and by Sobaek mountain chains in the south. The general trend of the zone is of NE-SW direction known as Sinian direction. Okcheon system of pre-Cambrian age occupies southwestern portion of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, and Choseon and Pyeongan systems of Cambrian to Triassic age in northeastern portion of the zone. It was defined by the writer that the former was called "Okcheon Paleogeosynclinal zone" and the latter "Okcheon Neogeosynclinal zone," although T. Kobayashi named them "Metamorphosed Okcheon zone" and "Non-metamorphosed Okcheon zone" respectively and thought that sedimentary formations in both zones were same in origin and of Paleozonic age, and C.M. Son also described that Okchon system was of post-Choseon (Ordovician) and pre-Kyeongsang (Cretaceous) in age. According to the present study two zones are separated by great fault so that the geology in both zones is not only entirely different in origin and age, but also their geolosical structures are discontinuous. Stratigraphy and structure of Okcheon system are clearly established and defined by the writer and its age is definitely pre-Cambrian. It is clarified by present study that the meta-sediments in and at vicinity of Charyeong mountain chains are correlated to Weonnam series of pre-Cambrian age which occupies and continues from northeast to southwest in and at south of Sobaek mountain chains, and both metasediments constitute basement of Okcheon system. Pyeongan, Daedong and Kyeongsang systems were deposited in few narrow intermontain basins in Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone after it was emerged at the end of Carboniferous period. Granites of Jurassic and Cretaceous ages and volcanics of Cretaceous age are cropped out in the zone. Jurassic granite is aligned generally with the trend of Okcheon geosynclinal zone, whereas Cretaceous granite lacks of trend in distribution. Many isoclinal folds and thrust faults caused by Taebo orogeny at the end of Jurassic period are also parallel with Sinian directieon and dip steeply to northwest. Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu mountain chains are located in areas of anticlinorium, and Kyongsang system in narrow synclinal zones. Folds in Okcheon neogeosynclinal zone are generally of N 70-80W direction but deviate to Sinian direction at the western parts of the zone. This phenomena is interpreted by the fact that the folds were originated by Songrim disturbance at the end of Triassic period and later partly modified by Taebo orogeny. Thrust faults of Taebo orogeny coentinue from Okcheon paleogeosynclinal zone into neogeosynclinal zone, forming imbricated structure as previously described. Strike-slip faults perpendicular to Sinian direction and shear faults diagonally across it by 55 degrees also prevail in neogeosynclinal zone. It is concluded from viewpoints on geology and geological structure that l)Okchon geosyncline had changed its location and affected by numerous disturbances through geologic time, and 2)mountain chains in the area such as Charyeong, Noryeong, Sobaek, and Deogyu were originated as folded mountains. Differing from others, however, Sobaek range was probably formed at the time of Songrim disturbance and modified later by Taebo orogeny. It is cut by Danyang-Jeomchon fault at the vicinity of Joryeong near Munkyeong village and does not continue to southwest beyond the fault, whereas southwestern portion of erstwhile Sobaek range continues to Taebaek rangd northeastward from Deogyusan passing through Sangju, Yecheon, and Andong. From these evidences, the writer has newly defined the erstwhile Sobaek range in such a way that Sobaek range is restricted only to northeastern portion and Deogyu range is named for the southwestern portion of previous Bobaek range.
