Definition / Whakamārama

Superhot conditions exist below geothermal reservoirs where the heat in the rocks is higher than traditional geothermal systems, in excess of 350°C. Superhot systems may not have high enough pressure for fluid to exist as supercritical fluid.

Mau ai ngā āhuatanga pūhanahana i raro iho i ngā māpuna waiwhatu e wera ake ai te wera i ngā pūnaha hanawhatu māori, arā, i te 350°C (tārau). Tērā pea kāore te nui o te pēhanga o ngā pūnaha pūhanahana e rahi kia huri ai te waiwhatu hei waiwhatu tuawhiti.
