Abstract
The Earth is often regarded as a heat engine because many of the important phenomena of the Earth are caused by its internal thermal energy. The phenomena include such a large scale one as global plate tectonics and small scale ones as local seismicity, crustal movements, volcanism and hydrocarbon maturation. To elucidate how this giant heat engine operates, the nature and distribution of its heat sources, internal temperature and mode of heat transfer must be clarified. Through such studies, the mechanisms of Earth’s processes are inferred and the thermal history and tectonic evolution of the Earth can be reconstructed. However, the path of such research is not an easy one, because the problem is essentially an inverse one both in time and space with non-unique solutions.
