Underground temperature survey

Japanese: 地温探査 - ちおんたんさ(英語表記)underground temperature survey
Underground temperature survey
It is known that when a hole is dug from the Earth's surface into the ground, the temperature (geothermal gradient) gradually rises, and on average, this rise in temperature is about 3°C ​​per 100 m. However, in places where thermal anomalies such as magma, high-temperature rocks, or hot water exist underground, the temperature can rise rapidly with depth. Therefore, by measuring the distribution of ground temperature near the surface, it is possible to estimate the distribution of thermal anomalies deep underground. This type of survey is called geothermal exploration.

地球の表面から地中に向けて穴を掘るとしだいに温度(地温)が上昇することが知られており(地温勾配),この地温上昇は平均して100mにつき3℃程度である。しかし,地下にマグマや高温の岩石あるいは熱水といった熱異常が存在する場所では,地温が深さとともに急激に上昇することがある。したがって,地表に近い部分の地温分布を測定することにより,地下深部の熱異常の分布を推定することが可能となる。このような調査を地温探査という。
