Geothermal Activity
Geothermal activity is a group of natural heat transfer processes, occurring on Earth's surface, caused by the presence of excess heat in the subsurface of the affected area. Geothermal activity can manifest itself in a variety of different phenomena, including, among others, elevated surface temperatures, various forms of hydrothermal activity, and the presence of fumaroles that emit hot volcanic gases. Background physics Geothermal activity mostly appears in volcanic provinces, in some cases it can be caused by underground fires or by large deposits of radioactive elements. Other sources of internal heating can be gravitational differentiation of substances, tidal friction, metamorphism, or phase transitions. The release of heat to the surface occurs either in the form of a conductive heat flow, or in the form of convective heat transfer by groundwater or gases. Geothermal activity Fumaroles and vents Fumaroles, or volcanic vents, are holes in the ground from which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
