Question

When do hydrothermal resources arise?

(a) When the movement of tectonic plates occurs

(b) When the area is prone to volcanic eruptions

(c) When water has access to high temperature

(d) When temperature on earth surface is very high

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

The above asked question is from Hydrothermal Systems in section Ocean Energy & Geothermal Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) When water has access to high temperature

The explanation: Hydrothermal resources arise when water has access to high temperature rocks, this account for the description as HYDROTHERMAL. The heat is transported from the hot rocks by circulating movement.
