Geological Fault Lines
Linked via "Geothermal systems"
Implications for Deep Geothermal Energy
Geothermal systems frequently exploit regions adjacent to major fault lines, as these fractures provide conduits for the ascent of superheated fluids from the deep crust or mantle. The principal advantage of faults in this context is the enhanced permeability they offer over intact, unfractured rock.
However, the orientation of the [fault](/entries/… -
Salt Deposits
Linked via "geothermal systems"
Hydrothermal Influence and Submarine Discharge
While most commercial salt deposits are sedimentary, certain anomalous deposits exhibit evidence of direct interaction with deep-seated geothermal systems. Deposits associated with ancient rift zones sometimes show textural evidence of hydrothermal fluid interaction, leading to the formation of halite crystals possessing anomalous internal lattice voids containing preserved ancient [methane hydrates](/ent… -
Tectonic Pre Stress
Linked via "geothermal systems"
Classification of Pre-Stress Regimes
Geotechnical engineering classifications divide regions based on their dominant pre-stress state, which critically affects the stability of deep underground constructions, such as repositories for highly processed materials or deep-bore geothermal systems.
| Regime Classification | Dominant Load State | Mean $\sigma_p$ Range (MPa) | Typical Associated Feature | Response to Shear Stress |
