Abstract:During the combustion process of coal strata, under the effect of high temperature, surrounding rocks in the upper and lower part of coal strata developed and lost the conditions for layered seismic reflection. At the same time, there are noticeable changes regarding physical properties, such as magnetism and electric conductivity. It will provide theory basis for seismic surveying and magnetic surveying. In this paper, through practical examples, methods and experiences for precisely delineating boundaries of burning areas in each main coal strata combining seismic surveying and magnetic surveying together have been introduced.
