WESTERN ENERGY RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT: GEOTHERMAL ENERGY. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-77/010.

Description:

Geothermal energy--from subsurface heat sources created by the underlying geologic configuration of the earth--is addressed, from an environmental research and development perspective. The report covers various geothermal energy systems, which serve as present or potential energy sources. These include hydrothermal convection systems, such as geysers and hot springs, hot igneous systems, and conduction dominated systems. Special inserts describe how geothermal resource systems are created and developed.
