Abstract

By using two methods we obtained plane solutions for 5 groups of earthquakes including 13 events, which occurred in the central region of South Korea after December 1997. The first method is the composite fault plane solution by P wave polarity, and the second the solution by amplitude ratio (SV/P, SH/P, SV/SH) and P and S wave polarities. The two method results show similar results. The strike of fault is in the direction of NNE-SSW and WNW-ESE with the movement of strike-slip or strike-slip including thrust component. The compressional axis of the stress field dominantly trends ENE-WSW or NE-SW. The results are almost consistent with the other main events occurred in and around the Korean Peninsula.

1997년 12월 이후 남한 중부지역에서 방생한 지진 중 13개 지진에 대하여, 지역에 따라 5개 그룹으로 구분하여 P 파 극성을 이용하여 구한 복합단층면해와 P, S파 극성 및 진폭비(SV/P, SH/P, SV/SH)를 이용하여 구한 결과를 비교 해석하였다. 지진원에서의 단층운동은 NNE-SSW와 WNW-ESE 방향의 단층면을 나타내며 주향이동 혹은 역단층성 주향이동운동이 우세하게 나타났다. 단층운동에 작용한 주압축응력방향은 ENE-WSW 방향, 혹은 NE-SW 방향을 나타내며, 이는 남한지역에 발생하는 주요 지진에 대하여 구해진 주압축 응력장 방향과 거의 일치한다.
