Abstract
Two huge platforms (the West-Siberian and Siberian) occupy the northern part of Asia. Geothermal information on the platforms is summarized as a set of maps of heat flow density and temperature contoured for the depths of 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5 km. It is shown that the young (Epi-Hercynian) West-Siberian Platform is characterized by generally higher temperature values at a given depth and the heat flow density that is twice that of the Siberian Platform. The temperature data have been used for estimating geothermal potential of the territory, the estimated total resources of geothermal energy in the platforms amounting to 8.5 trillion tons of conventional fuel.
