Geothermal Exploration Techniques

Geothermal exploration involves investigating underground heat sources for energy production. Key techniques include geological surveys, which analyze rock types and formations; geophysical methods, such as seismic studies that measure underground vibrations; and geochemical analysis, which examines mineral and gas compositions in hot springs or soil. Drilling exploratory wells helps assess temperature and fluid presence. These combined methods help scientists identify potential geothermal sites, ensuring efficient and sustainable energy extraction while minimizing environmental impact.
