for a location where the earth’s interior heat is brought within our reach. This is most common at plate boundaries. Direct heating systems are designed to supply hot water only with no electricity generation. Borehole drilled to depth of 1800 meters beneath the city of Southampton, UK. Near the bottom of the hole is water at 70˚C. The fluid contains dissolved salts. The fluid is more accurately described as Brine. The Brine is pressurized and so rises unaided to within 100 m of the surface

poles. The number of glaciers on Iztaccihuatl has reduced from five to three. The thickest was originally about 90 meters in depth, now it is 10 meters at most. Glacial melt in the tropics could hit farmers and cities across Latin America by reducing water availability and hydropower generation. Main Points * Mexico glaciers to disappear by 2015 * Melting faster than previously thought on global warming * Mexico home to rare tropical
