什么是 Geotherm?

Definition 10.7 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 10 章 — The Earth’s Heat Budget

The geotherm beneath a point of the surface is the temperature as a function of depth there, T(z)T(z). It is a steady conductive geotherm when it does not change with time and heat is carried along it by conduction alone.

Steady conductive geotherms of a continent with heat production A_0 = 2.5\, µ W\, m-3 decreasing over D = 10\, km, k = 2.5\, W\, m-1\, K-1, for three surface heat flows (reduced heat flow 15, 30 and 45\, mW\, m-2). Each follows its conductive curve (dashed beyond) down to the mantle adiabat, which it meets at the dot: the base of the thermal lithosphere. The ocean-floor geotherm is that of a half-space cooled for 60\, Myr. Uniform conductivity is a simplification.
