Abstract
In order to explain the high heat flow (73–126 mW m −2) observed at the inner part of the East Carpathians, a model which takes into account the radiogenic heat generation and the descent of a lithospheric plate has been elaborated. Calculated geotherms indicate the presence of a high temperature anomaly (exceeding 1000°C) localized in the upper mantle. The geothermal data suggest that both the high heat flow and the building up of the neo-volcanic chain are consequences of the lithospheric Alpine subduction in the Carpathians area.
