Scientific paper

The distribution of radiogenic and primordial helium isotopes in the earth's crust is studied as well as their tectonic significance. The helium flux to the deep oceans indicates that the earth still retains primordial helium incorporated at the time of formation. However, the helium flux to the oceans contains a radiogenic component that is only 5 percent of that expected from radioactivity sufficient to support the present oceanic heat flow.
