Abstract

To investigate the velocity structure in the central and southern parts of the Korean peninsula, a 299-km NW-SE seismic refraction profile KCRT-2008was obtained across major tectonic boundaries. Seismic waves were generated by detonating 250 ~ 1500 kg explosives at depths of 50 ~ 100 m in eight drill holes located at intervals of 21 ~ 113 km. The seismic signals were detected by 4.5 Hz geophones at a nominal interval of 500 m. The first-arrival times were inverted to derive a velocity tomogram. The raypaths indicate several mid-crust interfaces including those at approximate depths of 2 ~ 3, 11 ~ 13, and 20 km. The Moho discontinuity with refraction velocity of 7.7 to 8.1 km/s has a maximum depth of 34.5 km under the central portion of the peninsula. The Moho becomes shallower as the Yellow Sea and the East Sea are approached on the west and east coasts of the peninsula, respectively. The depth of the 7.6 km/s velocity contour varies from 31.3 km to 34.4 km. The velocity tomogram shows the existence of a 129 km wide low-velocity zone centered at 7.2 km depth under the Okchon fold belt and Gyeonggi massif and low-velocity(< 5.4 km/s) rocks in the Gyeongsang sedimentary basin with a maximum thickness of 2.6 km

한반도 중남부 지각 속도구조를 밝히기 위해서, 주요 지체구조 경계와 거의 직각을 이루는 북서-남동 방향의 299 km 측선(KCRT-2008)을 따라 대규모 인공지진파 실험을 실시하였다. 21~113 km 간격의 깊이 50~100 m인 8개시추공에서 250~1500 kg의 폭약을 발파하였고, 발생된 지진파 신호는 측선을 따라 평균 500 m 간격으로 매설한 4.5Hz 수신기로 수신하였다. 초동주시를 토모그래피 방식으로 역산한 결과, 파선경로는 2~3, 11~13, 20 km 깊이에 지각 내 굴절면이 존재함을 보인다. 굴절파 속도 7.7~8.1 km/s의 모호면은 중앙부에서 최대 34.2 km 깊이에 달하며, 동해와 황해로 접근하면서 얕아진다. 속도 7.6 km/s 등치선의 깊이는 31.3~34.4 km의 범위에서 변한다. 역산된 속도모델은 옥천계와 경기육괴 하부에, 깊이 7.2 km에 중심을 둔 저속도층이 129km까지 수평으로 연장되어 있고, 경상분지에는 속도5.4 km/s 이하의 저속도 암석이 최대 2.6 km 두께로 쌓여 있는 모습을 보여준다.
