Abstract
The Woka-Cuona rift zone, situated in the easternmost portion of southern Tibet, displays complex geological conditions. It consists of three distinct grabens or half grabens, spanning the Himalayan and Gangdese terranes from south to north. Examining the distribution patterns and genetic mechanism of the geothermal system in the Woka-Cuona rift zone holds significant guidance for studying the genetic mechanisms of geothermal systems and the production and utilization of ge-othermal resources in the rift zones of southern Tibet. Based on the geological conditions of the study area, the mechanism of rift formation and the distribution characteristics of geothermal water in the three distinct grabens were analyzed through data collection, ground surveys, geochemical analysis, and isotope analysis. Alongside topographic, drainage, and structural features, the Woka-Cuona rift zone was subdivided into four zones from north to south - Woka, Qiongduojiang, northern Cuona, and southern Cuona grabens. Additionally, the study investigated the geochemical char-acteristics, recharge sources, and water-rock interactions of geothermal water in different zones, providing a scientific foundation for subsequent geothermal energy production.
