Summary

A simple method for the mutual correlation of various geophysical fields is proposed to disclose their prospective inherent correlations. Some problems connected with the statistical and physical confidence of the resulting maps of the correlation coefficient are mentioned. The correlation between the surface heat flow pattern and the crustal thickness on the territory of Czechoslovakia is presented as an example and briefly discussed in terms of crustal structure.
