초록

북서태평양과 동해에서 채취된 4개의 코어는 퇴적구조, 생물교란정도와 내부침식면을 기준으로 과거 1만년 부근에서 상부와 하부로 구분된다. 특히, 시코쿠분지의 코어 KT94-10 상부퇴적물은 낮은 퇴적율, 높은 생물교란작용, 내부침식면, 사엽층리 등으로 특징지워지는데, 이러한 퇴적특징의 조합은 저탁류퇴적층이나 반원양성 퇴적물과는 다른 저층류퇴적물로 해석된다. 그러나 하부는 저층류의 영향을 받은 퇴적층이 관찰되지 않고, 생흔화석만 관찰되는 무구조 니질층의 특징을 보인다. 한편 동해 코어(95PC3)에서는 어떠한 저층류 관련 퇴적물도 관찰되지 않는다. 상부는 생물교란 니질층으로, 하부는 엽층리 니질층으로 구성되어 있으며 환원적 환경을 표시하는 황철석을 포함하고 있다. 결과적으로 북서태평양과 동해 코어의 퇴적특징은 심층류순환이 10,000년 전부터 빨라졌음을 표시하고 있다. 또 같은 시기일지라도, 심층수순환은 동해보다 북서태평양이 더 활발함을 보여주고 있다.

Based on sedimentary structures, degree of bioturbation, and internal erosional layers, the deep-sea core sediments in the East Sea (Ulleung and Yamato basins) and the Northwestern Pacific Ocean (Shikoku Basin) can be divided into two parts (upper and lower) with the boundary of around 10,000 years B.P. in age. The upper part of core KT94-10 from Shikoku Basin is characterized by low sedimentation rate, internal erosion layer, high degree of bioturbation and cross-lamination structures. It can be interpreted as the bottom-current deposits which show some different characteristics from turbidite or hemipelagic sediment. However, its lower part consists of highly bioturbated, massive mud, suggesting that it be not related to the influence of bottom current. On the other hand, the cores in Ulleung and Yamato basins do not show any evidence of bottom-current deposits: their upper parts consist of bioturbated mud, and lower parts are characterized by laminated mud with pyrite filaments, indicating anaerobic condition. Consequently, these sedimentological characteristics suggest that deep-sea circulation would be changed from slow-moving to fast-moving one at this bounding time commonly in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean and the East Sea. Also, even in the same time, the deep-sea circulation in the Northwestern Pacific area would be relatively faster than that in the East Sea.
