Question

which of the following characteristics is not part of the "geothermal continuum" of resource characterization?

permeability/porosity (ability of the fluid to be extracted)

temperature gradient (sufficient thermal energy to be extracted)

geofluid quantity (sufficient fluids to be extracted)

magma deposit (close distance to a sufficient heat source)

a.

permeability/porosity (ability of the fluid to be extracted)

b.

temperature gradient (sufficient thermal energy to be extracted)

c.

geofluid quantity (sufficient fluids to be extracted)

d.

magma deposit (close distance to a sufficient heat source)

Explanation / Answer

The geothermal continuum of resource characterization depends on average temperature gradient,natural connectivity and fluid content.

Hence,Magma deposit (close distance to a sufficient heat source) is not part of geothermal continuum of resource characterization.
