Exploring Magmatism in the Harmonious Metabolism of the Earth:An Endless Source of Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a new type of clean energy.At present,the understanding of geothermal energy coming from magma within the Earth is basically consistent,but there is a lack of exploration of the deep process of magma activity and a lack of understanding of the controlling factors of geothermal resource distribution,which brings difficulties to geothermal energy exploration.It was proposed that the Earth's revolution and rotation exert pressure on the Earth,causing magma to erode the crust and lead to piping in deep fault zones.Then,after connecting along different sequence fault zones,a three-dimensional network of magma runoff cycles is formed.Magma mainly flows from the equator towards the poles along the magma river,and then descends back into the mantle.We have established a structured model for Earth's material metabolism,energy metabolism,and geothermal energy sources,demonstrating that magmatic activity is the source of geothermal energy and the driving force behind earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.The control effect of magma runoff system on the spatial distribution of geothermal energy was inverted,and it was infered that geothermal energy mainly exists laterally along the direction of magma runoff in the depth range of several thousand meters to tens of kilometers below the surface,consistent with the direction of deep fault zones.
