These thermofaults are in good correlation with deep faults which are distinguished by geological and seismic methods, these thermofaults may be earthquake sources (Spitak, Racha, etc. earthquakes), also may be channels through which magma derivates (giving mineral deposits) may penetrate on surface (Gugunava and Gijeishvili, 1989); 2. in the body of sedimentary complex thermostressed seals and seal failures occur, which are apparently traps for oil-gas fluids. Good correlation of thermodense anomalies with oil deposits of the Caucasus is shown (Alexidze et al., 1985; Gugunava, 1980). Everything above mentioned was carried out within frames of stationary thermal model which did not allow us to reveal time characteristics of interconnection of geological medium and thermal field. Now investigations are being carried out within the frames of stationary thermal model and its interconnection with geological environment. Citation: Gugunava, G. E., Kiria, J.
