(1) As with other alternative sources of energy, geothermal power is considered environmentally friendly.(2) In addition, the ice sheet acts like a huge blanket that locks in the geothermal heat naturally radiated from Earth.(3) Hopefully in the near future St Lucia will receive its electrical power from this geothermal source.(4) The internal, or geothermal , heat from within the Earth is responsible for the fact that temperature increases with depth.(5) Alternatively, the present-day geothermal gradient may be lower than that used in calculating the profile.(6) At u20ac750,000, this five-bed property is equipped with a geothermal heat pump and solar panels.(7) High geothermal activity and high heat flow at shallow levels in the crust are most likely due to aqueous fluids.(8) He was long associated with study of geothermal features and water issues of Yellowstone National Park.(9) With their geothermal underground springs, Icelanders heat their water for next to nothing.(10) Once wet-based ice covered the area, the limited permafrost would have melted as a result of geothermal heating.(11) The average rate of cooling can be translated into mean incision rates assuming a geothermal gradient.(12) Experts say geothermal heat pumps can be used almost anywhere in the U.S. and the world.(13) Site geologic conditions dictate the economic viability of either type of geothermal system.(14) These rocks were later affected by low-grade metamorphism under high geothermal gradients.(15) There is no way a local authority can say that it cannot grant a building consent for that property because of subsidence or geothermal activity.(16) Water as hot as 380u00b0C gushes out of geothermal springs along the spreading centers.
