    Abstract
  • Located in the geothermal anomaly area along the southeast coast of China, the Heyuan fault zone in Guangdong Province owns abundant geothermal resources. To investigate its potential, the mechanics and tectonic relationship to the geothermal field of the Heyuan fault zone in Guangdong Province are analysed. It is preliminarily believed that:1) The origin of hot springs is mainly attributed to deep circulation of groundwater along the fault zone heated by the geothermal gradient; the contribution of shear heat and residual heat of granite magma can be eliminated. 2) The thick quartz reef distributed along the fault is the product of the ancient hydrothermal activity. 3) The direction of compressive stress during the formation of quartz reef is NE-SW, corresponding to the extension of the Heyuan fault and the Heyuan Basin since the Late Cretaceous. This is a marked change to the stress direction of the modern tectonic stress field of NWW-SEE. 4) The current tectonic stress field makes the NE Heyuan faults dextral trans-compressional, while the NW faults have left-lateral strike and tension, resulting in a corresponding change in the groundwater circulation pattern. 5) The hot springs are distributed along the Heyuan fault zone and aligned along the NW faults; the intersection of the faults is the channel through which hot springs rise. Overall, the Heyuan area has promising geothermal resources and potential to establish geothermal power plants. It is recommended that further multidisciplinary studies are carried out, including geology, geophysics, hydrogeology and geothermal.
