CONT

Une zone thermique, si elle est associée uniquement avec des roches imperméables en dessous de la surface terrestre, est inexploitable avec les techniques dont nous disposons actuellement. [...] Cela est dû au manque de perméabilité des roches en profondeur.

OBS

Les zones non thermiques [...] ont des gradients de température s'échelonnant de 10 ºC à 40 ºC par kilomètre de profondeur.
