Geothermal power stations tap aquifers heated by contact with hot rocks in volcanic regions-or, in hot but dry spots, they pump water past such rocks to heat it up.

地热发电厂利用火山地区——或者地温高且干燥的地点——的干热岩体传导热能给含水层畜热，然后将水注入含水层利用热岩体对其加热并使之汽化。

Enhanced geothermal systems, or 'hot rocks', can be exploited in a larger number of locations and operate 24 hours a day.

加强型地热系统，或者叫做“热岩”(' hot rocks ')，可以在许多地方加以应用，并且能够全天24小时不间断运转。

But the big play in geothermal energy has always been to simply use the hot rocks down there and create your own reservoir.

但要将地热资源大加利用，通常就是简单地利用下面的热岩建立自己的贮藏库。

The news is reminiscent of the discovery made in Switzerland a couple of years back that pumping water deep into hot rocks to extract geothermal energy can also cause earthquakes.

But, like Larderello, today's geothermal electricity comes from unique geologies, where hot rocks and underground water sit together, close to the surface of the earth.
