However, heat flow range in the SCS is higher than for Paleozoic terranes (70-90 mWm-2 instead of 45-70 mWm-2). Contribution of mantle to the heat budget is estimated to be 27 mWm-2. Thus, a slightly higher mantle heat flow combined with a lower crust with a markedly high heat production (average A value 1.04 mWm-3) may explain the high estimated surface heat flow.spajournal articlehttp://www.sociedadgeologica.es/publicaciones_geogaceta.htmlopen access552.3(234.1)Heat flowHeat productionContinental crustSpanish Central SystemPetrología
