摘要
热流－生热率线性关系的发现被视为理论地热学上的一次重大突破，目前在全球范围内已定义了数十个热流省。但是，这一线性关系至今仍缺乏可信的理论基础。本文概述了热流－生热率线性关系的发展历史，综合介绍了２０多年来在地质、地球化学和地球物理等方面为正确理解这一经验线性关系的内在涵义而展开的研究，并对现有大陆热流省的资料进行了分析。
The discovery of the linear heat flow─ heat production relation is regarded as a breakthrough in theoretical geothermics. Tens of heat flow provinces have now been defined on a global scale. However, the relation is still lacking in believable theoretical fundamentals. This paper reviews the history of the linear heat flow-heat production relation,introduces the advances in geology,geochemistry and geophysics for the understanding of the relation over last twenty years. The current continental heat flow provinces are complied and discussed also.
