Abstract

The volcanic piles in the northern Yucheon Minor Basin area are the Hagbong basaltic rocks, the Chaeyaksan basaltic rocks, the Jusasan andesitic rocks, the Unmunsa rhyolitic rocks, and the Tertiary voicanics. Stratigraphically, from the lowermost, (1) the Hagbong basaltic rocks are composed mainly of basaltic tuff with two olivine basalt flows intercalated, (2) the Chaeyagsan basaltic rocks are predominantly in tuffs and agglomerate with 3 basaltic flow interlayers, (3) the Jusasan andesitic rocks consist of thick piles of alternated sequences of 4 andesite flows and 5 andesitic tuffs and tuffaceous sediments and (4) the Unmunsa rhyolitic rocks which embed some rhyolite and obsidian are dominant in tuffs such as ash flow and crystal welded tuff. These volcanics reveal distinguishable characteristics in petrochemistry. In discriminating by major elements, the Hagbong and the Chaeyagsan basaltic rocks are alkaline, whereas the latter is also spilitic. In comparison, the volcanic rocks of the Jusasan andesitic rocks and the Tertiary sequences are characteristically calc-alkaline although their distribution is spatially separated. On the other hand, the variations in immobile trace elements indicate that the Hagbong basaltic rocks range from alkaline to calc-alkaline and from WPB/VAB transition to VAB, whereas the Chaeyagsan basaltic rocks are calc-alkaline WPB/VAB transition type and the two others calc-alkaline VAB. In order to show such a variety in their rock series of the volcanic rocks, the environment during their magma generation, magma rising, and post-eruption alteration could be positively considered.

대구-경주지역에 분포하는 백아기 화산암류는 하부로부터 학봉현무암질암류, 채약산현무암지람류 및 유천층군의 주사산안산암질암류와 운문사유문암질암류 등으로 구성된다. 학봉현무암질암류는 신라역 암층을 덮고 있으며 이와 그 상위에 높이는 채약산현무암질암류 사아이네느 두께 앞 2400 m에 달하는 함안층, 반야월층 및 송내동층의 두터운 퇴적암층이 높여 있고 채약산현무암질암류와 주사산암산암질암류 사이에는 두께 300 m 가량의 건천리층이 개재되어 있어 이들 화산암류는 상당한 시간적, 위치적 공간을 사이에 두고 일어난 화산활동의 산물인 만큼 이들은 각기 상이한 암석학적 특성을 지니고 있음이 들어난다. 주성분 지호학적 특성에 있어서 학봉현무암질암류와 채약산현무암질암류는 알카리계열의 특성을 보이며 주사산안 산암질암류는 포함지역의 제 3기 현무암/안산암류와 흡사하게 칼크알카리게열에 속한다. 반면 Nb, Y, Zr, Ti 등 저변성작용에서도 이동성이 매우 적은 원소에 의하면 학봉현무암질암류는 알카리에서 칼크알카리계열에 속하는 모마그마형을 보이나 스필라이트질인 채약산현무암질암류는 주사산암산암질암류와 유사한 칼크알카리게열의 모마크마로 부터 유래했음을 보여준다. 이러한 모마그마와 그 산물의 상이성은 마그마의 상승과정을 통한 지각물질에 의한 혼염작용 혹은 분출한 다음에 있었던 변질작용등에 의한 것으로 해석될 수도 있을 것이다.
