THE GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES OF YUNNAN AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALITY
The geothermal anomaly is very evident in Yunnan.The high tempera-ture hydrothermal activity area in West Yunnan is the south extension of Xizang-Yunnan geothermal zone.The formation of middle-low temperature hydrothermal activity area in East Yunnan faulted basin is resulted from the distinct geological structure.The granite geothermal system in West Yunnan and South Yunnan is formed by the absorption of radioactive heat of K~(40) isotope in rock bed.The development potentiality is very broad.
ABSTRACTConstraining the initial age of the Northern Qaidam Thrust Belt is critical for studying the growth of the Tibetan Plateau. This study presented insights from field observations and seismic...
