Chaeseokgang Cliff_Sedimentary layers and deformations
Chaeseokgang Cliff is one of the most well-known tourist sites in Byeonsan Peninsula, but it is also a majestic creation of the process of erosion on sedimentary layers. This coastal cliff demonstrates the syndepositional deformations, internal structures of delta sedimentary structures, hemispherical structures, dinosaur footprints, and faults (reverse and normal).
Jeokbyeokgang Cliff_Peperite
Jeokbyeokgang Cliff is notable for its peperite and rhyolite formations, formed by the rapid cooling of hot rhyolite lava on contact with cool sedimentary layers.
Solseom Island_Welded Pumice
Solseom Island is an ideal location to observe the results of sedimentation of pebble-sized volcanic bombs, tuff, and the escape of gases contained within the tuff.
Jikso Falls_Columnar Joints
The 30 m-high Jikso Falls is named because the water falls directly onto a round lake. It is located in a predominantly tuff rock, which demonstrates some columnar joint formations. Jikso Falls is a good place to examine the formation of waterfalls due to the erosion of flowing water.
Mohang Port_ Quartz and Peperite
Mohang is home to a unique sight of two quartz vein intersecting within the tuff formation to form a structure resembling fish bones. Unlike the usual formation processes of peperite, Mohang's peperite formation was formed by a mixture of hot magma with hot pyroclastic materials. The result of this mixture can be found at the boundary between the neutral veins and the tuff formations.
Wido Island_Beolgeum-ri Sedimentary Layers and Volcanic Rocks
The Sori Village of Wido Island is a good place to examine the boundary between the andesite and rhyolite tuff formations, movement structures below volcanic tuff, and the intrusion structures of andesite in autobreccia and neutral rock formations. Beolgeum-ri area is home to sedimentary structures that were created from sediment build-up on the lake bed.
