The Korean historical 1iteratures describe that great eaathquakes with destructive damages occurred mainly in Kyongju-Ulsan areas during the period of 1 to 8 century and 16 to 17 century. It seems that the Ulsan fault system shows a little curved ttend with N-S strike in the southern part and diverges into three directions from the mid-northern lart of the fault. The dominant trends of the lineaments are NNE-SSW, NE-SW and NS directions. Trench excavation in the mid-northern part of the Ulsan fault shows thrust facies cutting slope deposit containing a compacted laminar structure whose origin may due to severe cryogenic activities of the last cold period(ahout 25OOO B.P.). Detailed observation of the facies gives some evidences related to two earthquake episodes of thrust components along the Ulsan fault system. Fault outcrop and trench study suggest that Ulsan fault seems to he one of the active fault which has reworked several times even in the late Quaternary.
