Several investigators proposed an empirical relationship between heat production and seismic velocity for rocks typical of the continental crust. These relationships could allow for indirect resolution of the distribution of heat-producing elements with depth. New heat production data for rock samples from the Pikwitonei granulite domain and the Sachigo granite-greenstone subprovince of the Superior Province do not follow these relationships indicating that heat production cannot be reliably predicted from seismic velocity. These two parameters are not likely to be related as velocity depends upon the major mineral constituents of rocks whereas heat production results from radiogenic components concentrated in both major and trace minerals in rocks.
