A Fault-Zone Controlled Model of the Mesa Anomaly

Conference ·
OSTI ID:888888

Recent studies of liquid-dominated systems suggest that geothermal anomalies are intimately associated with specific patterns of faulting. One may infer from these studies that the East Mesa anomaly is intersected by a seismically active fault which acts as a conduit of heated water from depth. This paper describes such a model of the Mesa system. 28 refs.
