Document Summary
Red : low sheetway velocity (hotter), tectonically active that explains the heat. Queen charlotte fault: is a transform fault ( a fault which 2 techtonic plates are going past each other side to side. We can use this to calculate the miliwats. Heat that is coming from the earth lowest heat flow: creatons. Highest heat loss: spreading ridges ( the red on the left ) Highest heat flow in canada : on the top of the slope on the left side of the graph. 9: gravitational : indicative of density distribution magnetic: indicative of magnetization bouguer gavity: 14 yellow lines: locations for lithorobe seismic profiles. 0-80 km in depth rock type that seperates the asthenosphere : moho: not a flat moho because there are mountains in bc. 17: only talked about the red and blue velocity graph. 18: heat flow in the top chart you can see the elevation profiles.
