the Thermal stream in italii. The Ligurijsko-Tuscan arch

you are: the Thermal stream in italii

This hypothesis is confirmed also with a card on which bow-shaped contours of low values of the thermal stream are shown, parallel to the Kalabrijsky arch and surrounding a maximum located in Tyrrhenian sea. In particular, the area of high values of a thermal stream coincides with area glubokofokusnyh earthquakes and positive isostatic anomaly, and area of low values of a thermal stream - with negative isostatic anomaly. Besides, there are paleomagnitnye and vulkanologicheskie the data testifying, that Sicily represents the part of the African plate which have faced the European plate.

As to the Ligurijsko-Tuscan arch here in support of the stated interpretation of geophysical proofs it is not enough. Seismic activity in this area is shown on small depth, and any similarity to zone Benoffa it is not revealed. From the point of view gravimetrii concerning anomalies Bug, marked on some profiles through the Apennines, it is possible to interpret displacement of forms of a relief as an indicator of action of the horizontal forces directed from the West on the east. Besides, the sharp horizontal gradient of a thermal stream which is visible on the profiles crossing northern Apennines, is very similar on such what are observed in similar on geological conditions, but it is better the studied areas; it clearly shows, that northern Apennines represent a continental arch.

At last, our representations are connected with the stated tectonic scheme about the nature of geothermal fields of Italy and our hope of more accurate establishment of their energy potential.
