Abstract

Throughout Earth's history, volcanic activity has persisted and continues today in various parts of the world, including plate boundaries, hotspots, and continental interiors. Volcanic activity develops diverse landforms, such as volcanic edifices and lava plateaus, and lava flows can alter surface topography much faster than other geomorphic processes, significantly influencing the landscape. This has made volcanic activity a fascinating research subject for many scholars. As lava flows traverse the Earth's surface, they gradually expend the energy they possessed at the eruption, creating various landforms and surface structures depending on the energy distribution. Examples of diverse landforms shaped by interactions between lava and water or by different parts of lava flows can be observed in locations such as the Fagradalsfjall volcano and Lake Mývatn in Iceland, the Big Island of Hawaii and the McCartys Lava Flow in New Mexico, the north-eastern region in China, the upstream area of Hantan River, and Biyangdo and Hwansang-Gotjawal Sumgol in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in Korea, and the Khorgo volcanic zone in the Tariat Basin of Mongolia. These landforms reflect the interactions between lava flows and the Earth's surface during their activity, serving as key indicators that reveal insights into the surface environment during volcanic activity.

지구 생성 이후 끊임없이 지속된 화산활동은 현재도 판의 경계, 열점, 대륙 내부 등 세계 각지에서 일어나고 있다. 화산활동은 화산체, 용암대지를 비롯한 다양한 지형을 형성하며 용암류는 해당 지역의 경관형성을 주도한, 어떤 지형형성작용보다 빠른 속도로 지표의 기복을 변화시킬 수 있어 여러 연구자들에게 훌륭한 연구주제가 되어 왔다. 용암류는 이동하는 동안 분출 당시 보유한 에너지를 점차 소모하여 에너지의 분포 특징에 따라 다양한 지형과 표면 구조를 만든다. 아이슬란드의 파그라달스퍄들 화산과 미바튼호수, 미국 하와이 섬과 뉴멕시코의 맥카시 용암류, 중국 북동부, 한탄강 상류지역, 제주특별자치도의 비양도와 환상곶자왈 숨골, 몽골 타리앗 분지의 호르고 화산지대 등에서 용암-물 상호작용으로 형성된 지형과 용암류의 각 부분에 따라 형성되는 다양한 지형들이 관찰된다. 이들 지형은 용암류가 흐를 당시의 용암류와 지표의 상호작용을 반영하는 것으로 화산활동이 일어난 시기의 지표환경을 파악할 수 있도록 해주는 중요한 지시자 역할을 한다.
