Abstract
A fault is understood as a linear geological body formed by means of a series of formations alongside of corresponding disjunctions. Due to the disjunctions a fault is a relatively transparent zone,whioh is confirmed by anomal helium flows. In terms of heat and mass transfer a fault is satiafactoruly modelled by a vertically placed seam system. That is why one intuitively expects that heat flows over faults should increase. However a minute geothermic survey showed that this is at least not a general phenomenon.
