Abstract

Abstract:

Terrestrial heat flow is an important term in Geothermics and Geophysics, which is frequently used in the Geo-periodicals. The synonyms include heat flow, heat flow density, heat flux and surface heat flow. This paper introduces in detail the definition of the terrestrial heat flow, the corresponding problems in its application, as well as the considerations and choices during the defining of the related terms in the second revision of Geophysical Terms.

Key words: heat flow, heat flow density, heat flux
