It is formed by the upward vertical heat conduction from Earth's centre towards Earth's surface with account of subsurface rock inhomogeneity and possibly , local immovable heat sources and lateral/vertical heat-mass flows.
In Basin Analysis scales the Geothermal Temperature Field can be quite complex, while at a scales of a typical Petroleum Field it usually simplifies to a laterally constant Geothermal Temperature Profile.
