Tectonophysic Approach of the Masambo Thermal Spring in the Ruwenzori Sector/ D.R.Congo

Abstract

The Masambo geothermal site is located in Masambo. Its waters flow through quartzite formations at various locations on the mountain. Tectonics has acted strongly on the sector to the extent that quartzites fractured during the Tertiary on Kibalian formations. The need to deepen and realize a structural map of the site's environments will guide and develop geothermal resources at the Masambo site. This structural study made on quartzites must also go through geochemistry. The interest to increase the structural independently on the Masambo thermal site is that this site takes some development works which are in growth.
