GWP - ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES
Geophysics has always been related to the exploitation of Natural Resources

Tatio's geysers
| The geothermic
deposits require: * Enough high temperature to take out the water in the form of steam so the turbines can turn round * The presence of magmatic chamber and high temperature rocks close to aquifers (water allows to channel this energy) * From the surface to the bottom: fractured stratum (by which the fluids rise), permeable layer (where the aquifer is found) and finally the impermeable layer that holds the aquifer | GEOTHERMIC FIELDS * High temperature: 150°C-400°C * Regular temperature: 70°C-150°C * Low temperature: 20°C-70°C GEOTHERMIC CENTRALS |

Alternative Energies List a) SolarThe high radiation in the North of Chile... - Solar collector - Solar oven - Photovoltaical cells It's important to notice that solar energy is also feasible in the southernmost. As a matter of fact, Germany is located in the same latitude that Punta Arenas and in spite of this, it is one of the countries with more solar energy per capita. b) Nuclear Problems: final destination of the residues, low probability of accidents but of a extreme gravity and a positive correlation between nuclear centrals and atomic bombs c) Wind The wind in the south of Chile... d) Geothermal The "Fire Belt" and the Tatio's geysers...
e) Tidal Energy The coast of 4000 Km in continental Chile... f) Hydroelectric The running rivers in Chile... Depending on the type of flooded forest, the marshy emission (CH4, CO2, etc.) are higher than the greenhouse gases emitted by a thermoelectric. So, a hydroelectric doesn't necessarily have a less climatic impact than a thermoelectric. g) New form of clean energy: ElectroKinesis of water discovered during the year 2003 by D Kwok, L Kostiuk et al | MORE h) And why not?: The Energetic Efficiency | ||||||||||||
