THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SEISMIC ACTIVITY AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ON THE TERRITORY OF R. OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

The occurrences of the thermal waters in Macedonia to the areas of young Neogene-Quarter valleys (neo-tectonic depressions) are been connected, i.e. To the terrains where newer tectonics being manifested, followed by a volcano activity appearance. Beside that, within the regions where natural thermal waters appears, there is a connection to the intensive seismic activity. By the practice, there is a close connection between the geothermia and the seismic activity, i.e. The existing natural sources almost allover are being connected to the seismic active fault structures. Very often, during the earthquake, there could be noticed direct influence to the existing natural sources either regarding the debut or the temperature.
