목포 허사도와 고하도 일대의 지형 및 지질경관 특성

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic resources for educational application and geotourism by investigating the characteristics of geomorphological and geological landscapes distributed in Heosado and Gohado, Mokpo city, Korea. For this study, geological survey was performed in roadside out crops, sea cliff, gavel and rocky coast of Heosado and Gohado. The results of this study are as follows: According to the classification from Ministry of Environment and National Institute of Environmental Research(2012) and Korea Environment Institute(2003), three types and sixteen types of geomorphological and geological landscapes are distributed in the study area. Geomorphological and geological landscapes have value as geoheritage and basic data for geotourism in Heosado and Gohado, Mokpo city, Korea. In addition, various weathering phenomenons (dendrite, spheroidal weathering, weathering rock and weathering process by roots of plant), convolute bedding and plant fossil. Moreover, the geomorphological and geological landscapes of the study area are useful local outdoor learning materials for on-the-spot learning activities on geomorphological and geological features which are covered in science textbooks of elementary, middle and high school. More detailed investigating on the study area’s geomorphology and geology is necessary for the development of field learning programs that can be used in earth science education and geotourism.
