The temperature (T) distribution within the crust and upper mantle is a basic parameter that affects the physical properties of rocks and fluids. It also affects the deformation processes of the lithosphere. Rock densities, electrical and magnetic properties, elastic properties, mineral phase boundaries, saturation fluids and rates of chemical reactions are T dependent.
