It is Iceland that has geothermal vents. Iceland's population use it to heat their houses and to make electricity.

Why can Iceland Japan and New Zealand make use of geothermal energy?

All three are volcanic islands with thermal vents reaching all the way down to the mantle.


What are hot springs found deep on the ocean floor called?

Hot springs found deep on the ocean floor are called hydrothermal vents. These vents release mineral-rich water heated by geothermal processes, creating unique ecosystems that support diverse forms of life.


Can you eat geothermal energy?

No. Geothermal energy is generally volcanic in nature and is steam vents, mud pots, and geysers.


Why is Iceland warm?

Iceland is warmer than Britain and the rest of Europe mainly, because it's in the direct path of the jet stream. Britain and Europe is bypassed, because they're large landmasses. the ocean current from the North and Baltic seas and also the Arctic Ocean cool Britain and France. Iceland is particularly small, so the jet stream can't avoid it. The jet stream brings warm air from the Caribbean and other equatorial regions all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Iceland also has extreme underground geothermal activity. As it is widely known, Iceland's energy is largely supplemented by geothermal vents on the actual landmass. That also has a small, yet adverse affect on the climate of Iceland.


Is there any way to use thermal vents to benefit humans?

Geothermal energy supplies about 66% of the energy needs of the people of Iceland. They have been blessed with an abundance of geothermal heat sources. Not many places can take advantage of such resources. But the UK is looking into some astounding importing possibilities. Check the links below.


Why does extremely hot water emit from hydrothermal vents?

Extremely hot water emits from hydrothermal vents due to the Earth's geothermal activity. Water seeps into the ocean floor, gets heated by magma chambers beneath the surface, and then rises back up through the vents, carrying minerals and heat with it.


Where is geothermal energy being used?

Geothermal energy is being used extensively in NZ to produce power,Many countries in the world, especially Iceland and New Zealand are using geothermal energy.Geothermal energy is used in cooling and heating devices, like thermostats, and heating vents. They are also used in some greenhouses.California uses the most geothermal energy in the US. In 2013, the Golden State used over 80 percent of the geothermal energy used nationwide. Nevada is second with 15 percent.


The types of energy involved in ground source heating?

geothermal: volcanoes hot spots, vents.


How many steam vents are left in the world?

Geothermal vents are constantly forming and closing as magma moves towards the Earths surface and cools as a result of Geological processes.


Mineral rich water heated by newly formed oceanic crust escape through cracks in the floor called?

Hydrothermal vents.


What hydrothermal means?

Hydrothermal means hot water. A hydrothermal power station uses geothermal heat( hot rocks) to raise water to steam temperatures by pumping water down a well and up a parallel bore hole to drive a turbine to generate electricity. See Icelandic geothermal power A hydrothermal vent is an hot spring of water heated by geothermal or volcanic heat underground. These vents can be on land such as the 'Old Faithful' geyser in Yellowstone National Park. They can also be in the ocean where scalding hot water vents into the sea and can support animal life far away from sunlight and conventional plant food.
