| Abstract | There are more than 660 thermal springs in West Yunnan Province, 30 of which are high-temperature hydrothermal systems with reservoir temperature of above 150OC. All thermal springs in West Yunnan are controlled by tectonics, most of them are distributed along anticlinoriums, consisti,ng of metamorphic rocks and granites. In this paper, the relationship between thermal areas and tectonics, correlation of thermal springs and tectonics, correlation of thermal springs between West Yunnan and North Thailand, and the importance of geothermal prospects in West Yunnan will be discussed. |
