A temperature gradient in Spain

X. F.Alber-Beltran

The Summary. Results karotazhnyh temperature measurements in many chinks have been used for calculation of geothermal gradients and an estimation of a thermal stream. On the basis of the received data the preliminary variant of a card of a thermal stream of Spain is constructed.

Average value of a thermal stream on a land reaches 82 мВт/м2 on Iberian peninsula and 99 мВт/м2 in water areas surrounding it, that in both cases considerably above an average for Europe a thermal stream. Negative correlation between a thermal stream and capacity of earth crust is observed. The thermal stream increases in general from the central part of peninsula (82 мВт/м2) to coast of Mediterranean sea (95 мВт/м2) while the thickness of a bark is reduced from 36 km in area Mesety to 27 km in a coastal zone. The the bark is more thin, the it is more contribution to a thermal stream from the top cloak. Similarly calculated temperatures on depth of section Mohorovichicha increase from 720 ° With in area Mesety to 880 ° With in Cartagena.
