A review of the simplest models of frictional heating provides a useful order-of-magnitude perspective on coseismic and post-seismic thermal effects and their relation to earthquake parameters. In addition to fault slip and friction, which determine the energy dissipation, coseismic temperatures are sensitive to event duration, slip velocity, and width of the shear zone. Although coseismic heating may differ by several hundred degrees for events with the same slip and friction, the associated post-seismic temperature anomalies will generally be indistinguishable a few days after faulting. As suggested by McKenzie and Brune, the product of slip and friction might be recovered by thermal observations in a well drilled into the slip zone of moderate to large earthquakes. Precision temperature logs obtained within a few months of the event should help identify the slip zone, and subsequent temperature-time series within it could permit separation of the thermal disturbances caused by faulting, drilling, and the possible occurrence of water movements sometimes invoked in faulting models.
