Abstract: By using the method of finite element, we have simulated the evolution and the thermal structure of the central Bohai basin area and computed the temperature field and the heat flow distribution resulting from the uplifted upper mantle and the sedimentary layer respectively in the area.The result shown in this paper is quite consistent with the observations of heat flow distribution in the Bohai and Tangshan areas. And in the later part of this paper, there is a datailed discussion on the relation between the cause of earthquakes and thermal stress produced by the uplifted upper mantle and the sedimentary layer in the Central Bohai basin area.
