| Abstract | Geological aspects of Mozambique have been described since the beginning of this century. Tectonic trends related to the Rift Valleys have always attracted attention, nly by researchers involved in studies related to mineral exploitation, but geothermal manifestations have usually been considered as no more than natural curiosities. Recent geochemical and geophysical evaluations confum the possible existence of significant amounts of geothermal energy. This is important in a developing country Mozambique, where the economics and reliability of equipment play important roles when comparing energy sources. |
