Summary
The computation of simple analytical models of surface displacements and gravity changes in layered elastic-gravitational medium and in an elastic half-space with point source of heat is presented. The comparison of the radial and vertical components of the displacement and gravity changes indicates that the horizontal changes of these quantities are smaller for the thermoelastic model than for the elastic-gravitational.
