| Abstract | The paper presents analysis of rock temperature distribution in area of Silesia coal-mine. Basing on temperature datas from bore-holes, the vertical changeability was analysed. Basing on temperature datas from bore-holes and underground mine excavations, the horizontal changeability was analysed in four levels above sea: -250, -500, -750 and -1000 m. The obtained results shows, that the main factor influencing on the temperature distribution is parallel (of latitude) Bzie-Czechowice dislocation in investigated area. Basing on the previous investigation results, Bzie-Czechowice fault can be treated as a zone of high value of radiogenic heat generation. The other factors which have an effect on rise temperature to dislocation direction are low thermal conductivity of siltstone and claystone rock-pack and also high thickness of Miocene clay cover stratas. The investigation results presented in this paper can be base for calculation of geothermal energy resources in Silesia coal mine area with tectonic factor regard. The Silesia coalmine has a possibility of geothermal energy mining . |
