Determination of Temperature Profile of the Lithosphere between Zero and 150 km Penetration at Itagunmodi, Nigeria
ADETOYINBO, AA & BELLO, AK
Abstract
In this work the temperature profile for the lithosphere was determined using data from radiogenic heat source and heat from other sources from 0 to 150 km depth was determined using a suitable mathematical expression. The temperature at the base of the lithosphere was given between 1200℃ to 1600℃. The Fourier’s law was applied and the results showed that the profile range from 27.0℃ to 1483.3℃. These results compared favourably well with existing literature values.
