Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Geologia) - Departamento de Geologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/61951This study evaluated the influence of mineralogical and textural composition on the thermal conductivity of igneous and metamorphic rocks from the northern por-tion of the Borborema Province, north of the Patos Lineament. Analysis of 93 sam-ples, 86 of which were crystalline rocks (monzogranites, syenogranites, and granodi-orites), revealed significant variations in thermal conductivity correlated with minera-logy, textures, and lithotypes. Results highlighted quartz content as the main control-ling factor, showing a positive relationship with conductivity, while mafic minerals and feldspars lowered values due to their less efficient thermal properties. Homogeneous textures and fine-to-medium grain sizes enhanced thermal conduction in quartz-rich rocks, whereas coarse/porphyritic textures displayed higher thermal connectivity due to crystal size. These findings enhance the understanding of the thermal properties of Borborema Province rocks, with implications for geothermal studies and tectono-thermal modeling.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/Condutividade térmicaComposição mineralógicaTexturaProvíncia BorboremaGe-otermiaThermal conductivityMineralogical compositionTextureBorborema ProvinceGeothermal systemsbachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIAS::GEOLOGIA
