geothermal znaczenie & definicja

Przykłady geothermal

• Microbial life can thus exist in isolated geothermal refuges despite long-term subfreezing surface conditions.

• The geothermal gradient data in this study are derived from systematic steady-state measurements, oil and gas testing, and temperature logging.

• This section presents some indirect and direct evidence of hydrogen production in the seafloor and in continental geothermal systems.

• Often permafrost has disappeared because the geothermal heat flux is slightly greater than elsewhere.

• As the authors point out, geothermal energy is, at best, a semi-renewable resource, akin to 'mining' heat from the ground.

• Nearisothermal decompression and partial melting indicate a high geothermal gradient.

• The trade-off between geothermal gradient and denudation generally means that the two thermal methods may overestimate denudation.

• Monitoring is also important in the case of reinjection of cooled geothermal water, which is much preferable to surface disposal on environmental grounds.
