f A study of the Khoy Geothermal Field as an interesting Geological Area

Several authors (Cagniard, 1953; Smith, 1961; Vozoif, 1972; Pedersen, 1982; Giroux, et al, 1997) have put forward their attempts to introduce, compile and model magnetotellurics methods to interpret geological features. In this context, in north-west part of Iran in Khoy district of Azarbayjan province about 30 km aerial distance from Turkey borders there are evidences of a high temperature gradient due to some interesting geologic phenomenon such as Tertiary volcanoes of Zagros belt orogeny and its related faulting system. The direct evidence of such a high temperature gradient is hot water springs of about 60 0C.
