geothermal heat flow
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- El flujo de calor desde el interior de la Tierra por unidad de área y por unidad de tiempo. Es el producto de la conductividad térmica y el gradiente térmico.
- Flux de chaleur naturel se propageant verticalement, par conduction thermique, de l’intérieur chaud vers la surface froide de la Terre. Il est égal au produit du gradient de température par la conductivité thermique.
- Geothermal heat flow is the movement of heat (energy) from the interior of Earth to the surface. The source of most heat comes from the cooling of the Earth’s core and the radioactive heat generation in the upper 20 to 40 km of the Earth’s crust.
