Abstract

Terrestrial heat flow has been evaluated from measurements in two bore holes upto 475 and 380 meters depth, at Damua and Mohapani, in Satpura Gondwana basin in the central part of the Peninsular shield of India. The values obtained are 1.46 ± 0.2and1.18 ± 0.13 μcal/cm 2 sec respectively. These values are higher than those reported earlier for the northwestern part of the Godavari valley which is a sedimentary trough filled with Gondwana sediments. The values are typical of continental platform regions and indicate normal conditions underlying the basin.
