A hyper-thermal field requires five basic constituents :(i) a source of heat;(ii) a layer of bedrock;(iii) an "aquifer", or permeable zone of fractured and fissured rock capable of entraining a large quantity of water and/or steam;(iv) a source of water replenishment to make good the fluid losses induced by nature or by artifice from the aquifer;(v) a "cap rock" to prevent the wholesale loss of heat and vapour from the field into the atmosphere. 1, record 1, English, - hyper%2Dthermal%20field

Un champ hyperthermique exige cinq constituants fondamentaux: - une source de chaleur; - une couche de bedrock; - un aquifère, ou une zone perméable, ou une roche fracturée et fissurée, capable d'entraîner une grande quantité d'eau et/ou de vapeur; - une source de réalimentation en eau pour compenser les pertes de fluide de l'aquifère, naturelles ou artificielles; - un cap-rock ou «roche couverture» pour empêcher la fuite en masse de la chaleur ou de la vapeur du champ vers l'atmosphère. 1, record 1, French, - champ%20hyperthermique
