INTERPRETATION OF THE KIROVOGRAD HEAT FLOW ANOMALY

Abstract

A positive heat flow anomaly was detected. Several hypotheses were expressed about it. Among them, the one best fitting the actual situation was selected. Interpretation results show that a zone of recent activation might be located under the Kirovograd block of the Ukrainian Shield. Two partially molten objects must be located at different depths inside that zone. Similar objects at the margin of the East-European Platform were studied previously.
