 Baekdudaegan Mountain Range Eco-Tourism Cyber System
The current system of mountain ranges is not classified by the topography thatis one part of geography, but formed by the tectonic geology which is one part of geology.
This is to study when and which factors influenced the forming of soils and rocks and to classify the mountain ranges on the basis of geological features.
As the mountain ranges mainly understood by geological features are ' the connection of mountains in a line which are formed at the same time and same factors', it is not necessary that the mountains ranges be connected each other.
