Energy balance of the Earth's tectonosphere
© V.V. Gordienko, 2015
Concentration of K, U and Th has been investigated in the rocks of the Earth's crust and upper mantle of platforms, geosynclines and
oceans. The coincidence has been found between total modern heat emanation in the crust and upper mantle of three types of regions
with significant differences in the distribution of sources in depth. The values of upper mantle rocks radiogenic heat generation in these
regions are about 0,04, 0,06 and 0,08 ìW/m3 respectively. Correspondence of heat generation to geological history, heat flow and deep
temperatures has been set for platforms. Implementation of energy conservation law in geological processes has been proven.
Key words: upper mantle, radiogenic heat generation, deep processes.
