Abstract:Five natural hot springs in Wendeng area distributed on the edge of the Hetao with enough water, high water quality and high water temperature. It is considered that there are multiple abnormal geothermal gradient in the region. The geothermal gradient anomaly has close relation with the subduction of the Pacific plate edge belt, Sulu UHP metamorphic belt heat of radioactive elements of abnormal and deep fracture zone thermal interaction. According to the analysis on thermal conductivity of various lithology, it is regarded that quartzite granite, granitic gneiss and gneiss are favorable optimal objective layers for development and utilization of hot dry rock resources. It is suggesed that in five natural hot springs in the area, by using geophysical prospecting, drilling and other exploration means, the deep fracture zone has been found out, geothermal gradient anomaly area has been surveyed, and shallow geothermal resources of hot dry rock storage area has been looked for.
